Which place is more likely to be able to use geothermal energy a city near a volcano or a city near a water fall?
Geothermal energy comes from heat underground. One finds that near volcanic activity. Waterfalls can be used to produce hydroelectric power.
What are the conditions needed to generate geothermal energy?
To create geothermal energy you need a source of heat in a safe place near the surface of the earth and you need water. Since it is costly to send electricity over 700 miles and make a profit, you need a large population nearby to purchase the energy you produce. In Italy, Mt. Etna provides heat near the surface but it frequently erupts. It would not be a safe place to put your geothermal energy plant. The Big Island of Hawaii has plenty of geothermal energy. It could produce enough to supply the entire United States. No way exists to get it there. The distance is too great and an ocean is in the way. California has some south of Mt. Lassen. It has water that it can heat. It can sell it to San Francisco. That is the one place where the United States can produce it profitably. The Pacific Coast of Chile could produce it profitably and light the city of Santiago. Columbia has the potential. It is in the midst of a revolution. No one in his right mind would invest money while the revolution is occurring. Mexico could supply Mexico with geothermal energy, and Mexicans could pay a small fraction of their current rates for electricity. Socialism controls the energy markets. A few politically connected bureaucrats determine where money may be invested. Thus in Mexico you would need a political climate that would allow geothermal energy. Indonesia has tremendous potential for geothermal energy. You will have to do your own research on the status of it in that area.
Why air important in soil?
Air is important to plants because plants are living things so they breathe through the small pores present on the lower side of the leaves of the plants called stomata.Plants also need Carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis. The aquatic plants get it from the water.Plants all need the carbon dioxide in the air to go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is required to produce the nutrients the plant needs to grow and thrive.
Is it hotter in the city or country?
The city would be hotter because of all of the pollution they make with the factorys. If there were no factorys or bulidings in a city then a country would be hotter.
What factors contribute to an urban heat island?
Increased precipitation downwind of the city.
What does the city have to do to switch from their energy to geothermal energy?
You have to have a source of geothermal energy within reach, which not many cities have.
Which place would be more likely to be able to use geothermal energy A city near a volcano or a city near a waterfall?
A city near a volcano would be more likely to use geothermal energy. Geothermal means heat from under the ground, and near a volcano there would be many areas to drill down to tap this heat.
Can geothermal energy power a large city?
yes
Entire city of reykjavik is heated by what?
Geothermal energy

What City in Iceland heated by geysers?
There's officially one city in Iceland.. Reykjavík :D And it's "geothermal energy" not geysers. Hot water anyway
Which city has begun its construction on the first zero carbon city powered entirely by renewable energy?
The main city in Iceland has a o CO2 outlet powersauce through geothermal. Thaks for the Q

What city is the only place you can find geothermal power?
KOLKATA
What is the motto of Kočani?
Kočani's motto is 'City of rice and geothermal water'.
What city is known for the largest geothermal heating system?
Likely as not Reykjavik, Iceland.
How much geothermic energy is used in the US?
About 0.4%. The largest scheme was established by the Southampton City Council to heat a number of buildings in the city centre, including the Southampton Civic Centre and the WestQuay shopping centre. Geothermal energy provides 16 GWh of heat per year. Electricity is also generated and exported to the national grid.
