Yes, it not very reliable though, and inital costs are high. The cost of managing it though isn't a lot at all.
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.
Geothermal Energy is definitely environmentally friendly . It uses the heat from the origin of the planet, radioactive decay of minerals and solar energy absorbed by the surface. Although it does not produce a lot of electricity and it is costs a lot, but it is definitely enviromentally friendly. geothermal energy can be used for many diffrent things for example heat energy and is a good electricity conductor
it is expensive to start using it and you need a lot of water to use geothemal
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat, not from nuclear power plants. It involves tapping into the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or for heating applications.
These websites are good. A lot of information and diagrams and stuff: http://www.agea.org.au/information/about-geothermal/ http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/06/geothermal-energy-doe-90-million-investment.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power http://www1.eere.energy.gov/geothermal/faqs.html http://www.science.org.au/nova/116/116box03.html
i dunno , but i do know that geothermal is geothermalGeothermal produced a lot of naturally inside the earth.
Geothermal energy is better than coal because it is a renewable energy source that produces minimal greenhouse gas emissions. Geothermal energy is considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to coal, which is a fossil fuel that contributes significantly to air pollution and climate change. Additionally, geothermal energy has a smaller environmental footprint and is not dependent on mining or transportation of fuel sources.
In places where you find a lot of volcanic activity. Iceland is the worlds leading user of geothermal energy.A:Underground...For instance, New Zealand has a lot of beautiful rain forests but in the north there is alot of geothermal energy from the deep ground from volcanic activity risen to the surface,it can also produce some forms of utilies.
It is renewable, doesn't give much pollution but it does cost a lot of money and it;s hard to get
a lot
No, it doesn't. Mining and geothermal energy applications generally happen at different locations. To cite one example, Iceland taps geothermal energy to do a lot of heating there. They don't really mine anything. In the big open pit mines where ores of copper, aluminum and other metals are removed, we don't see any geothermal energy being tapped or any geothermal power plants in operation nearby. It may be notable to cite that some of the gold mines of South Africa are places where geothermal energy makes conditions in the deep shafts and drifts uncomfortably hot. But the miners are there for the ore, and no one is really interested in the geothermal possibilities.
