When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.

How does geothermal energy flow from hot to cold or cold to hot?

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground.


Is geothermal energy available all the time?

Since hot springs remain hot all the time (except in the event of an earthquake, which could alter the flow) geothermal energy is available all the time.


What is the difference between surface runoff and groundwater flow?

becuase by the geothermal energy consist of seven elements that cause that


Density changes in the asthenosphere are caused by the flow of what energy from deep within the earth?

a giant comes and transfers energy into the asthenosphere by getting inside a toyota and riding it the earth and he goes so fast that he creates energy and then he putts all the energy in a body bad and sprinkles it all over the earth like if it were sprinkles on ice cream.


What are some renewable sources for electricity energy?

The main renewable sources of energy to generate electricity are:hydropower (use of water from rivers, dams, tides and ocean waves)wind energy (using wind turbines)solar power (using the power of the sun to heat water or produce electricity)geothermal (using the heat deep under the earth's crust)ocean Thermal (using surface heat and deep cold water)biofuel (producing ethanol from organic material like switch-grass, corn and sugar cane husks)See the Related Questions links for more information about each of these methods of producing energy.*Strictly speaking an energy source is not 'renewable' if you mean "can humanity restore it?", as it must with trees, for example.Geothermal, for example, is self-renewing - the Earth is constantly giving off its heat to water which is close enough to the heat to be warmed by it. It is not diminished to any noticeable extent by our using it. It is possible to use a geothermal resource to capacity locally. One example is in the geothermal area of Rotorua, New Zealand, where too many thermal bores resulted in the decline of the geysers that were a tourist attraction. This has since been addressed by controls on the bores in the area, and the geysers are performing as before.Heat or light from the sun, wind (turns turbines which produce electricity), and water (the power of the flow turns turbines which produce electricity).wind, tidal, geothermal and hydroelectricity
