Abstract

Geothermal energy is the driving force behind geothermal processes: volcanic, hydrothermal and seismic, and manifests itself in areas of modern volcanism in the form of active volcanoes, hydrothermal systems and earthquakes. Hydrothermal systems represent the "useful part" of geothermal energy, which can be used within geothermal fields to produce electrical and thermal energy, as illustrated by the examples of the Mutnovsky and Pauzhetsky geothermal fields. Active volcanoes have not found any application in the energy sector. However, the energy contained in them can be released in the form of hydrothermal explosions, as discussed in the example of the cone of Avacha volcano. Earthquakes are the most dangerous mode of geothermal energy release. The study of anomalous phenomena of hydrodynamic nature in active hydrothermal systems and on active volcanoes continues.
