Heat from the ground can be used to stabilize the temperature of a house, keeping it warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Heat from the ground can also be used on a larger scale by pumping water down deep enough into hot rocks where it will become hot enough to generate electricity back on the surface.

What is the function of ground source heat pumps?
Ground Source Heat Pumps or GSHPs are underground central heating cooling systems. Because they use the surrounding earth to dissipate heat in the summer or absorb it in the winter, they are consider energy efficient and good for the environment.
Will heat move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground?
No. If the air is warmer than the ground any movement of heat by conduction will be from the air to the ground.
What is under ground heat called?
"geothermal"
Is geothermal energy made of wood?
No, geothermal is from the ground, Geo = earth. Basiccally, anti freeze is circulated through pipes in the ground to absorb the heat and then through a heat exchanger to concentrate it to heat a building.
Explain why earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up?
Earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up because the heat is absorbed into the ground. The warmed surface of the earth then emits heat as infrared radiation which rises into the atmosphere. There the greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane absorb and hold the heat.
Where can one purchase a ground source heat pump?
Ground source heat pumps, or geothermal systems, use the earth as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in the summer. They can be purchased from Ingrams Water and Air, Water Furnace and Xcel Energy.

Do Orbiting satellites use geothermal energy panels?
No, geothermal means heat from under the ground. Satellites use solar panels.
Will heat move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground?
No. If the air is warmer than the ground any movement of heat by conduction will be from the air to the ground.
What heat are pumps?
A better way to heat and cool your home - but it may be expensive in the git go. Heat pumps have a problem heating with temperatures below 35 degrees. They can't provide heat if it is below 35 degrees outside. Pipes are laid under ground to use the 55 degree amibent heat there and the heater with 55 degree coolant, the heat is extacted by the heatpump to warm your house. They can also work in the reverse to cool homes. Acting similar to a refrigerator, heat pumps can draw heat from the home and transfer it into the ground and tamp into the cooler ground temperature.
Why does the ground heat up during day time?
The ground becomes warm during the day time because the sun transfers its heat to the ground as it hits the earth,
Does land absorb heat?
yes the ground takes in heat and cold
Does heat lightning touch the ground?
No

What size heat pump for a 18x33x4.5 deep above ground pool?
The size of a heat pump that you can use for a pool which is 18 feet wide by 33 feet long and has a depth of 4.5 feet can vary depending on specific brand of heat pump you wish to purchase. The minimum size of heat pump for an above ground pool of this size in 102,000 BTU.
Signs of a cat being in heat?
They yowl loudly and incessantly when they're in heat. A cat in heat will also sort of crouch close to the ground, and/or drag their behind along the ground.
Will heat move from the ground to atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground?
No because it only transfers of energy as heat through materials
