Hot water is pumped down into the Earth’s crust. It is cooled by rocks and then cooler water is pumped back up to the surface.
Cold water is pumped down into the Earth’s crust. It is heated by rocks and then hot water is pumped back up to the surface.
Hot water is pumped down into the Earth’s crust. It is heated further by rocks and then this hotter water is pumped back up to the surface.
Cold water is pumped down into the Earth’s crust. It is cooled even more by rocks and then the very cold water is pumped back up to the surface.
