What is the difference between geoterium and hydrogen. if hydrogen can be produced by splitting 2 paticles of hydrogen from one particle of oxygen (H2O) how could geoterium be produced?
Some people claim that there are geoterium deposits in the southern part of the Philippines and some parts of the United states. If this is true, how can these deposits be acquired for energy provision

You also may be referring to a methane hydrates.

Methane hydrate or methane ice, is a form of water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystal structure (a clathrate hydrate). Originally thought to occur only in the outer regions of the solar system where temperatures are low and water ice is common, extremely large deposits of methane clathrate have been found under sediments on the ocean floors of Earth.

Methane clathrates are common constituents of the shallow marine geosphere, and they occur both in deep sedimentary structures, and as outcrops on the ocean floor. Methane hydrates are believed to form by migration of gas from depth along geological faults, followed by precipitation, or crystallization, on contact of the rising gas stream with cold sea water.

At higher pressures Methane clathrates remain stable at temperatures up to 18 °C. The average methane clathrate hydrate composition is 1 mole of methane for every 5.75 moles of water, though this is dependent on how many methane molecules "fit" into the various cage structures of the water lattice. The observed density is around 0.9 g/cm³. One liter of methane clathrate solid would therefore contain, on average, 168 liters of methane gas (at STP).

are you sure you're not referring to deuterium?
Deuterium, also called heavy hydrogen, is a stable isotope of hydrogen with a natural abundance in the oceans of planet Earth of approximately one atom in 6500 of hydrogen (~154 PPM). Deuterium thus accounts for approximately 0.015% (on a weight basis 0.030%) of all naturally occurring hydrogen (see VSMOW; the abundance changes slightly from one kind of natural water to another). The nucleus of deuterium, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common hydrogen nucleus consists only of a proton and no neutrons. The isotope name is formed from the Greek deuteros meaning "two", to denote the two subatomic particles comprising the nucleus.

Deuterium (d2) which is also labelled as heavy water, is commonly used as fuel for fusion nuclear reactions.

Personally, this ad hoc terminology cited by you appears strange to me?... can you site any referrences?

you might be asking: DEUTERIUM?

deuterium is simply called heavy water or water without oxygen.

it is normally produced in the deepest part of the ocean. high pressure of the volume of water squezzed out oxygen from water. hydrogen2 is left. this is a good alternative fuel and is renewable and will not emit pollution. it only emits vapor when combusted.
