Why underground water is hot in winter and cold in summer?

Answer 1

Any point 56 inches below the top layer of earth nothing freezes because of the heat of the center of the earth while being isolated from the cold of above. If the water is not frozen over and is at room temperature the perception from a frozen cold top side would be warm.

During the summer the layers of rock and dirt keeping the water from heating it up and keeping it at room temperature while it could be 100 degrees above, then your perception is that it is cold.

Answer 2

1. Could be relative to the outside temperature if you're using your skin as an indicator.

2. If you've verified this with a thermometer then the reason is that heat takes a while to travel. So the groundwater at 10 ft depth is warmest in Oct-Nov and coldest in May. However the difference is small.

Once you get really deep you see the effects of geothermal heat but this is present all year round.

Answer 3

Underground water reflects the average annual temperature of the area. In the winter, it will be warmer than the surrounding (ambient) air and in the summer it will be cooler than the surrounding air. The average annual temperature is also the temperature found inside of caves so they feel warm in winter but cool in summer.

Answer 4

underground water is always hot because it is near to the lava
this water is also used in geothermal stations which produce
geothermal energy

Answer 5

It stays the same temperature year-round.

Answer 6

Clearly a story, yes ~~

Answer 7

did not know it did
