Geothermal energy uses no fuel. Its most important waste is greenhouse gasses leaked from underground, so it is relatively free from pollution.

How can geothermal energy be used?
geothermal energy is used to rotate turbines which in turn produce electricity
What is one advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy?
One advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy is:it can produce larger amounts of electricity.Hope I could help!
Is geothermal energy safe for humans and the environment?
Geothermal energy (hot water and steam) is usually used to produce electricity. Electricity is dangerous if misused, but it is usually safe.
What are some strengths of geothermal?
Geothermal energy is considered a renewable energy source. Which means that, unlike the fossil fuels we rely on for energy, we can continue to use geothermal without having to be concerned that we will run out of energy. In terms of electricity generation, a geothermal power plant will emit only about 1% of the carbon dioxide that a fossil fuel powered plant would produce to generate the same amount of electricity. Although this may not be as good as solar or wind powered forms of electricity generation, geothermal does have the advantage of being able to produce a steady supply of electricity 24/7, something that most renewable energy sources can't.
What is one benefit of geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is a renewable source of electricity, meaning it will not run out. It does not directly produce greenhouse gas emissions.
How are geothermal and hydroelectric energy similar?
they both use turbines to produce electricity
How does geothermal energy generate electric energy?
it uses magma and to heat and react with rocks that produce electricity
What are three renewable resources that produce electricity?
wind, water, solar, geothermal energy
What is the difference between hydro electric 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.
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 green?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy stored beneath the earth's surface. It is clean, renewable, and popular because it can be harnessed from almost anywhere in the world to produce heat and electricity.
Is there anything that uses geothermal energy to produce geothermal energy?
No. Geothermal energy comes from the earth's core!
