What is the world's largest producer of geothemal electricity?
the world's largest producer of geothemal electicity is the United States of America.
What are not good things about geothermal energy?
it is expensive to start using it and you need a lot of water to use geothemal
What is geothemal energy?
It is were people use natural heat from inside the Earth to create energy. It can be use for heating buildings or to create steam to turn turbines which also create energy.
How heat transfer and energy transformation make heat engine like geothemal plants work?
In a geothermal plant, heat transfer occurs as heat from the Earth's core is transferred to a fluid circulating in underground reservoirs. This heat energy is then transformed into mechanical energy as the hot fluid drives a turbine connected to a generator. The generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
Where does geothemal come from?
Geothermal energy comes from heat stored beneath the Earth's surface in the form of hot water and steam. This heat is produced by the natural radioactive decay of minerals deep within the Earth. Geothermal sources are typically found in areas where this heat can more easily reach the surface, such as near tectonic plate boundaries.
What is geothermal?
AnswerThe word geothermal comes from the Greek words geo(earth) and therme(heat). So geothemal energy is heat from within the earth.It is used to heat homes, buildings, and other public areas. Alternatively, sometimes the heat is used to generate electricity. One country that uses geothermal energy regularly is Iceland.
What is a non-example of geothemal energy?
Well, let's imagine geothermal energy as a warm, bubbling spring bringing comfort and energy. A non-example would be a traditional coal power plant, which relies on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. It's like comparing a peaceful meadow to a bustling city - they're just different ways of creating energy.
What are sources of heat and light?
Heat and light are generated by various chemical and nuclear reactions. The energy in fossil fuels was originally in dead plant matter, which had absorbed energy from the Sun. Geothermal heat energy comes from the molten layers of rock beneath the Earth's crust. Other than these three (solar, fossil fuel, or geothemal), light can be generated from electricity from hydroelectric power, chemical reactions (glow sticks), bioluminescence (fireflies), and from direct nuclear emissions (radium/phosphor watch dials).
