Best Answer

Water is pumped from a energy plant into the earth trough pipes where it is heated by the heat of the earth. If the water is heated to the point of steam, it is forced up out of the earth and goes through a turbine. Thereafter, it is condensed back into liquid water in a condenser. This pressure differential between the high pressure steam and the low pressure in the condenser drives the turbine. If the water is merely heated up but not turned into steam, the water can be manually turned into steam on the surface at which point it goes through the same process.
