Cost of geothermal?
The cost of geothermal energy depends on how far down you dig. When going for the hot rock deposits, the cost can be quite great because of repairs, etc. But when only going down a few hundred feet, the cost becomes much less. You are able to harvest your own geothermal energy for your house or business.
How is geothermal energy stored in the source and how is released?
Geothermal energy is typically stored just below the Earth's surface. It is released when people dig down into the Earth and use it's heat energy to cool down or warm up homes.

Can geothermal energy be obtained in your area?
Depends how far down you drill doesn't it.
How the natural world is affected by the energy?
by cutting down land and trees to dig holes in earth to reach the geothermal energy
How is or could geothermal energy used?
Geothermal energy harnesses the intense heat beneath the Earth. Pipes lead down to heated, not liquid, rocks and bedrock. The pipes are driven back up under a pool of water, which it is heated and boils. The water flows, triggers an electric turbine, and geothermal energy is tapped.
Is geothermal energy an unlimited source of cheap energy?
no it is not because all the equipment that goes down into the arth costs alot.
When can you say that geothermal energy is non renewable?
When it is overused. Geothermal energy became quite popular in Rotorua, New Zealand. Many people had drilled down to the hot water that was just about everywhere. Now however they are finding that the temperature of the water is reducing as is the amount of water available.
What is something similar between hydro-power and geothermal energy?
Hydroelectric energy gets energy stored in water, as potential energy, i.e., if it falls down, it can move the turbines, to produce electricity. Geothermal energy gets electricity from the heat stored in the Earth's interior.
Is geothermal energy free?
No, geothermal energy is not free. While the source of geothermal energy itself is renewable and essentially unlimited, the equipment and infrastructure needed to harness and utilize geothermal energy require investment and maintenance, which incur costs.
Is it true or false by definition geothermal energy pertains to heat from sun?
false. you're confusing it with solar (sun) energy. geothermal energy is like what is used to create energy in iceland for example. geothermal energy is created through pipes that carry water deep down under the earth's crust where it is heated by underground magma
What are good things about geothermal energy?
It does not pollute the air. and warmnessgeothermal is good because gives us heatand it colles our home's down
