No, steam energy is produced whenever water is heated, and this can be by burning anything, as well as using heat from under the ground. Geothermal energy is specifically the heat from under the ground, which can be turned into steam to generate electricity.

How do you get geothermal energy?

You get geothermal energy by drilling into the ground, where you use the heat to make steam. the steam then powers a turbo generator, which makes energy to power homes.


Geothermal runs on what energy?

Geothermal energy uses the heat of the Earth to turn water to steam.


Is Geothermal the same as Solar. If it is not the same then what is Geothermal?

Geothermal energy is not the same as solar energy- geothermal refers to heat generated by the earth, not the sun.


Can you eat geothermal energy?

No. Geothermal energy is generally volcanic in nature and is steam vents, mud pots, and geysers.


Geothermal energy is possible where there is what?

Geothermal energy is possible where there is hot magma near the Earth's surface, which heats underground water to create steam. This steam can then be harnessed to generate electricity through geothermal power plants.


What kind of energy is made when steam comes out of the earth and spins a turbine?

Geothermal energy is produced when steam from beneath the Earth's surface is used to spin a turbine. This steam is generated by heat from the Earth's core, which is harnessed to produce electricity in geothermal power plants.


What kind of energy involves steam from Earth's interior?

What is the same about fossil fuels and geothermal energy?

they both pollute.both fossil fuels and geothermal energy pollute they envirenment because when the water(steam) comes out to power the turbines it bring dust and other pollutents into the air.


Is geothermal energy pollutional?

Geothermal energy uses the heat of the Earth to boil water to steam and convert the steam to electricity and/or heating. No fuel means no emissions. No emissions means no pollution.


What energy from steam under the earth is called?

The energy from steam under the earth is called geothermal energy. This renewable energy source harnesses heat from the Earth's core to generate electricity through steam turbines. Geothermal energy is a clean and sustainable option for power generation.


What kind of technology is used to gather geothermal energy?

Geothermal energy is typically gathered using a geothermal power plant that utilizes either dry steam, flash steam, or binary cycle technology. These systems tap into the natural heat of the Earth by drilling wells into geothermal reservoirs to access steam or hot water that is converted into electricity.
