No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
No. "Fossil fuels" are things that you can burn; though not everything you can burn is fossil fuel.
Geothermal energy utilization does not cause air pollution as fossil fuelsGeothermal energy is renewable source of energy while fossil fuel is not.
Converting one form of energy to other always lost some energy in the process. The use of Geothermal energy is making electricity, fossil fuel can make electricity through generator. Adding unnecessary step from fossil fuel -> geothermal -> electricity is nothing more than additional loss in energy transformation process.
No it is not
Yes, geothermal energy, like all renewable energy, emits no pollution or greenhouse gases, so, compared to fossil fuel energy, is good for the environment.
If the location is suitable for geothermal energy use, that is, if there are hot rocks not too far below the surface of the earth, then a power plant can be built. This will generate clean electricity which can be fed into the grid and so to homes. Geothermal power plants mean that polluting fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power plants can be phased out.
Geothermal energy is not a fossil fuel, because it is harnessing energy from the thermal heat energy within the earth and is not dependent upon decomposed ancient plants and animals, which is what coal, oil, and natural gas are, which is why they are called "fossil fuels."

No it is not
they arn't the same type of energy
Yes, geothermal energy, like all renewable energy, emits no pollution or greenhouse gases, so, compared to fossil fuel energy, is good for the environment.
it is a renewable resource
If the location is suitable for geothermal energy use, that is, if there are hot rocks not too far below the surface of the earth, then a power plant can be built. This will generate clean electricity which can be fed into the grid and so to homes.

no
Apart from round geothermal centers, all the energy in the biosphere and in the fossil fuel reserves of the planet has its origins in sunlight.
Geothermal energy, such as hot springs, is used to heat home and factories so in this sense geothermal energy is fuel. However to create a system that uses geothermal needs an infrastucture which needs to be designed and built, in this sense geothermal energy needs an energy input.
