In areas of enhanced heat flow, geothermal heating can be used to supply heating to homes, either by using ground water directly or by placing a water reservoir at depth. In Iceland, where the average temperature over the year is 4.6ºC, the geothermal flux can be as high as 300 mW m-2.

(a)

If you wanted to be able to supply a home with indoor temperature at 25ºC and water at a temperature of 55ºC, how deep would your reservoir need to be?

(b)

Why might Iceland have such a high geothermal flux compared to other areas?
