What else can I help you with?
Which place is more likely to be able to use geothermal energy a city near a volcano or a city near a water fall?
Geothermal energy comes from heat underground. One finds that near volcanic activity. Waterfalls can be used to produce hydroelectric power.
What does the city have to do to switch from their energy to geothermal energy?
You have to have a source of geothermal energy within reach, which not many cities have.
Entire city of reykjavik is heated by what?
Geothermal energy
What City in Iceland heated by geysers?
Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland, is heated by geothermal energy including geysers. This renewable energy source provides heat and hot water to a large portion of the city's residents through a district heating system.
What are the geothermal power plants in the philiphines?
Some of the geothermal power plants in the Philippines include the Tiwi geothermal power plant located in Albay, the Makiling-Banahaw (MakBan) geothermal power plant in Laguna and Batangas, and the Mindanao geothermal power plant in Kidapawan City. These plants harness the natural heat of the earth to generate electricity.
What city is the only place you can find geothermal power?
KOLKATA
Can hyrdoelectric energy power a city?
Energy obtained from hydroelectric energy is really no different from other types of commercially used energy. So, it all depends on whether you can find a source of energy that is large enough to power the city - in this case, a large body of water that gets replenished, and a place where the water can fall down.
Which place would be more likely to be able to use geothermal energy A city near a volcano or a city near a waterfall?
A city near a volcano would be more likely to use geothermal energy. Geothermal means heat from under the ground, and near a volcano there would be many areas to drill down to tap this heat.
How long would it take for a city to implement geothermal energy?
Implementing geothermal energy in a city can vary depending on factors such as existing infrastructure, resources, and funding. However, with proper planning and resources, it can take several years from initial feasibility studies to actual implementation. This process involves site assessments, drilling for wells, building power plants, and connecting to the grid.
What is a non-example of geothemal energy?
Well, let's imagine geothermal energy as a warm, bubbling spring bringing comfort and energy. A non-example would be a traditional coal power plant, which relies on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. It's like comparing a peaceful meadow to a bustling city - they're just different ways of creating energy.
Can geothermal energy be used in Singapore?
Yes, the Kanjamiki caldera that lies beneath Singapore is one of the largest and most powerful in the world. Its magma chamber could easily power a small city with geothermal heat and the gaseous hydrochloric acid vented into the subterranean tunnels from the outer core can be used in the production of silicon microchips. Unfortunately, the Temasek Tower (built in 1986) has large support columns buried very close to the weakest part of the volcanic structure. In essence, the geothermal potential in Singapore is tremendous, but because of architectural hindrances, it will likely never be fully utilized.
What are the conditions needed to generate geothermal energy?
To create geothermal energy you need a source of heat in a safe place near the surface of the earth and you need water. Since it is costly to send electricity over 700 miles and make a profit, you need a large population nearby to purchase the energy you produce. In Italy, Mt. Etna provides heat near the surface but it frequently erupts. It would not be a safe place to put your geothermal energy plant. The Big Island of Hawaii has plenty of geothermal energy. It could produce enough to supply the entire United States. No way exists to get it there. The distance is too great and an ocean is in the way. California has some south of Mt. Lassen. It has water that it can heat. It can sell it to San Francisco. That is the one place where the United States can produce it profitably. The Pacific Coast of Chile could produce it profitably and light the city of Santiago. Columbia has the potential. It is in the midst of a revolution. No one in his right mind would invest money while the revolution is occurring. Mexico could supply Mexico with geothermal energy, and Mexicans could pay a small fraction of their current rates for electricity. Socialism controls the energy markets. A few politically connected bureaucrats determine where money may be invested. Thus in Mexico you would need a political climate that would allow geothermal energy. Indonesia has tremendous potential for geothermal energy. You will have to do your own research on the status of it in that area.
