Answer to Question 1

Diagensis is the process of converting constituents to a different product through application of heat and pressure. Catagenesis is the cracking process that results in the conversion of kerogens into hydrocarbons, including natural gas and oil.

Answer to Question 2

Geothermal heat pumps move energy from the ground in winter to a structure using the standard refrigeration cycle and can cool the building in summer by reversing the cycle.
