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.
Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from power plants that pump water underground near magma. Iceland uses a lot of geothermal energy as there is an abundance of geological activity near the surface.
Why is geothermal energy better than coal?
i think it is better because geothermal energy help people with a lot of things and coal doesn't because its bad.
Is geothermal energy used in the state of Georgia?
Yes, it not very reliable though, and inital costs are high. The cost of managing it though isn't a lot at all.
Is geothermal energy environmentally friendly?
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
How much does it cost to keep a geothermal power plant running?
a lot of money
What is the source of energy used by geothermal power plants?
A thorough explanation of the geothermal energy would take a lot of discussion. Briefly; the Earth's core is molten rock (read very hot). The heat rises to the surface in multiple ways. Geothermal power plants make use of this heat (geothermal energy) to generate electrical power.
How do we find geothermal energy?
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.
What are some uses of geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy has a lot of uses, including heating greenhouses, heating water, drying fresh produce (fruit and vegetables) and powering electricity generators of various kind.
What are not good things about geothermal energy?
it is expensive to start using it and you need a lot of water to use geothemal
Does mining ores get geothermal energy?
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.
What are disadvantages of steamboats?
Steamboats cost a lot of money to maintain
