One example is the coolness in a cave up to 100 feet deep, where the temperature changes season to season are slight. As you go deeper temperatures rise until they become nearly unbearable at about a mile deep.
The idea of using this heat involves drilling deep wells and circulating water through these wells to heat various heat exchange systems.
Household geothermal systems use a shallow depth coil and heat pump to maintain environmental conditions using the ground as a heat sink which maintains a fairly constant and comfortable temperature year round.
true
Geysers and hot springs are a natural example of geothermal energy. - In addition, geothermal energy is now a lot more common in homes and businesses, using geothermal heat pumps to cool and heat the building.
The heat from the geothermal energy boils water that is underground. if it has enough pressure the water comes up to the Earth's surface.
Geothermal energy is NOT from the sun. Geothermal energy is from heat inside the earth!
geothermal energy is geothermal power harnessed from the Earth itself
geothermal
true
Geothermal comes from the energy of the earth, hydroelectric come from the energy of flowing water. Imagine a natural occurring hot springs. This is an example of geothermal. An example for hydroelectric is a water mill.
volcanoes & geysers
There are quite a few different problems associated with using geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is quite expensive to utilize for example.

Solar power is a non-example of geothermal energy
No, thats chemical energy. Geothermal would be using heat that comes from within the earth itself.
Renewable Natural Energy
The heat from the geothermal energy boils water that is underground. if it has enough pressure the water comes up to the Earth's surface.
Iceland is a good example (because of the geology of the area) the undergraound heat radiating out from geothermal process' can be harnessed into renewable heating supply for homes ect.
