What are some examples of geothermal energy?
volcano and volcanoes
Why are only some countries using geothermal?
Only nations that are in volcanic areas are good candidates for geothermal power. So, The USA (in California) has geothermal power, and Japan. But the world leader for geothermal energy is a little frozen island with a fantastic mix of volcanoes and glaciers; Iceland!
Why is geothermal energy not being used everywhere?
There's really only one reason why geothermal energy isn't used everywhere: not everywhere on the planet has some measure of geological activity, which is required for the potential of geothermal energy to exist. Underground reservoirs of water are heated by geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanoes. This water turns to steam and expands. It is the force this steam can exert through its own natural convection that geothermal activity taps into to generate energy. Therefore, geothermal couldn't be done in areas that aren't geologically active, such as the Sahara Desert.

What are some benefits do volcanoes and earthquakes offer?
volcanoes provide geothermal energy which besides being great for spas and recreation is used as a of hot water in some areas of the world
How can energy from volcanoes be made useful to humans?
It's hard to use this energy directly from the volcanoes, for several reasons; including the fact that volcano eruptions occur infrequently, are hard to predict, and are often quite catastrophic in nature. However, the energy from volcanoes is related to the heat in Earth's interior, and efforts are indeed being done to make use of such energy. For more details, do some reading on geothermal energy.

Can you give some examples of geothermal energy?
Geysers and hot springs are a natural example of geothermal energy. - In addition, geothermal energy is now a lot more common in homes and businesses, using geothermal heat pumps to cool and heat the building.
