Description of geothermal energy?
Energy extracted from hot rocks under the earth's surface.
What is geothermal energy used to?
It is use to generate electricity from below earth's surface!!!!! Its an inexhaustible energy source that uses hot magma or hot dry rocks to generate electricity.
How is Geothermal Energy easily renewed?
When heat is removed from the hot rocks underground (by cycling water down to them) the rocks renew their heat from the nearby lava and magma. It is very rare that this doesn't happen quickly.
Why is there no rock evidence from the first 800 million years of Earth's existence?
Earth was too hot to have solid rocks at that time.
Can geothermal energy put CO2 into the atmosphere?
No. Geothermal energy just uses the natural heat and hot rocks under the ground to heat water, often hot enough to make steam. This steam is then used to spin a generator, producing electricity. There is no carbon pollution resulting.
What gp is an energy resource from hot rocks?
Geothermal power is an energy resource derived from hot rocks.
What are some resources of geothermal energy?
Hot springs
Are hot springs natural resources?
The short answer: not really. Read on: Resources are things that we use for energy. We do not typically use hot springs as energy, but they have been used. The steam has been used as energy.
Description of geothermal energy?
Energy extracted from hot rocks under the earth's surface.
Why are geothermal energy hot rocks so inexpensive?
because they are diamonds.
What type of energy comes from hot rocks in the earth's crust?
Geothermal
What is an alternative natural energy resources based on underground hot water sources?
Geothermal Energy
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten within the Earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks.
Does hydroelectric power uses heat from hot rocks?
No hydroelectric uses water, usually stored behind a dam to drive a turbine. The hot rocks you speak of is geothermal energy. The most prolific use of geothermal energy is in Iceland.
What is the difference between a renewable and nonrenewable resource and how does it even relate to geothermal energy?
renewable energy resources are those that can be reused while non-renewable energy resources are those that,once used are lost forever and cannot be regenerated again.examples of renewable resources include:solar energy,paper,wind energy , water,etc.e.g of non-renewable resources:wildlife ,petrol,etc.renewable resources are available in nature in plenty but non-renewable resources are limited and at the same time cannot be regenerated after use. Geothermal is a renewable resource. We can take advantage of the hot rocks underground for a long time before the earth cools.
Why do rocks in the desert get so hot?
Rocks in the desert are exposed to heat and sunlight throughout the day. This exposure to great heat and sunlight causes the rocks to turn hot. Darker rocks like cement or asphalt can turn hotter because dark colors absorb heat.
What type of energy can be produced when heat from inside of the earth is used?
The energy produced by heat within the earth's crust is called geothermal energy.
