CindyMoonMcKee commented on the word geothermalism
Geothermalism: n. The presence of activity caused by heat from the earth's interior.
adj. geothermal
Example from Lectures in Astrobiology, Volume 2
Muriel Gargaud, Hervé Martin, Philippe Claeys
Springer Science & Business Media, Jan 5, 2007, page 118:
"It is not clear how much greenhouse warming is required to explain the available geological evidence. Some of it could be explained by the large geothermal heat flux (5 to 10 times the present-time values on average) that contributed to warm the near subsurface and probably induced an intense geothermalism (Squyres and Kasting 1994)."

Example from GRID-Arendal, webpage Geothermal history in New Zealand.
"New Zealand is a geologically active country defined by volcanism and associated geothermalism."

Example from Submarine hydrothermal activity within the offshore Taupo Volcanic Zone, Bay of Plenty continental shelf, New Zealand, abstract.
The onshore Taupo Volcanic Zone (New Zealand) is a region of vigorous, and relatively well studied, geothermalism and hydrothermalism distributed at 20 known sites.
