In regions where volcanoes are or were active hot molten magma lies under ground. And when water is also present in those same regions that water can be turned into steam or simply very hot water.

That steam can be accessed by drilling down to where it's formed and venting that steam up to turbines that drive electrical generators. And there the geothermal energy as steam in converted into grid electrical power to distribute to users in the region.

Calistoga CA has geothermal generated electrical power for example. That area is also noted for its hot springs and mineral waters for spas.
