Geothermal Activity
The Andean Volcanic Belt represents a large geothermal province, with numerous hot springs, solfataras and geysers associated with its volcanoes. The geothermal exploration in the Andes was pioneered in Chile in the 1960s, although the site of El Tatio was invistigated already in the 1920s. Compared to neighboring Central America, the Andean region is poorly explored and exploited for geothermal resources.

Famous quotes containing the word activity:
“In literary circles, the men of trust and consideration, bookmakers, editors, university deans and professors, bishops, too, were by no means men of the largest literary talent, but usually of a low and ordinary intellectuality, with a sort of mercantile activity and working talent. Indifferent hacks and mediocrities tower, by pushing their forces to a lucrative point, or by working power, over multitudes of superior men, in Old as in New England.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
