    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY 4 December 2013 Introduction Geothermal is derived from the Greek word ‘geo’ which means ‘earth’ and ‘thermal’ meaning ‘heat’‚ therefore geothermal refers to an energy or heat from the earth. In layman’s terms it is referred to power resulting from the thermal activating within the earth’s crust as a result of volcanic activity. Geothermal energy’s resources range from the surfaces just below the earth‚ to the hot rock‚ which heats water deep beneath the earth

    renewable energy? Well‚ because its renewable. Renewable energy will last forever and it cost close to nothing to get it. But it will always be their‚ unlike coal that once its gone‚ its gone. I think that the best process to get renewable energy is through geothermal plants. Some scientists think that the amount of geothermal energy stored in the earth will outlast our energy consumption and it may even outlast the sun. (Energy Informative) Geothermal is the most cost effective way to get energy‚ with

    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. It is simply using and reusing (reusable energy) heat from the inside of the earth. Most of the geothermal energy comes from magma‚ molten or partially molten rock. Which is why most geothermal resources come from regions where there are active volcanoes. Hot springs‚ geysers‚ pools of boiling mud‚ and fumaroles are the most easily exploited sources. The ancient Romans used hot springs to heat baths and homes‚ and

    Geothermal Energy Introduction The Geothermal is a clean and sustainable (renewable) energy. It has been estimated that the heat of the centre of the earth may reach 6000°C. It has been found that the increases one degree °C for 30-50 meters. The word geothermal is derived from Greek language where the first syllable “Geo” means “earth” and the second syllable “thermal” means “heat”. How it works The geothermal energy should be made useful through electrical generators. We are not free to dig

    Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years in some countries for cooking and heating. It is simply power derived from the Earth’s internal heat.This thermal energy is contained in the rock and fluids beneath Earth’s crust. It can be found from shallow ground to several miles below the surface‚ and even farther down to the extremely hot molten rock called magma. These underground reservoirs of steam and hot water can be tapped to generate electricity or to heat and cool buildings directly

    fuels to create electricity for homes and businesses‚ geothermal power plants use superheated fluids from the earth’s geothermal energy to generate electricity. When magma heats up the water from underground‚ it creates superheated fluids. When these super-heated fluids reach the surface they will be turned into steam. This steam will then power a turbine‚ which will in turn power a conductor. The conductor will then produce electrical energy. ¬¬¬¬¬¬To create enough steam to power the steam

    we have had a certain amount of new "alternative energy resources" been introduced to us. These new energy sources range from using almost all natural resources as suppliers. Some are quite complex while others just needed a little brainpower. One quite complex energy source is one of geothermal energy. Harnessing geothermal energy is an art in itself. It is the process of capturing the Earth’s internal heat in the core. This and many other energy sources are being implemented today to build a better
