How is geothermal energy stored for later use?
Geothermal energy can be stored in batteries, like all other electrical energy. There is no reason why geothermal energy has to be stored, as it can be produced round the clock, unlike wind and solar.A:The energy is stored in the form of dry steam which is water vapor with out water droplets, wet steam which is a mixture of water vapor and water droplets, and hot water trapped in fractured or porous rock.
Is geothermal a reliable energy source?
Yes! The source of geothermal energy is the hot rock thousands of metres below ground level. This does not change with the weather.
How geothermal system classify?
Geothermal systems and reservoirs are classified on the basis of different aspects, such as reservoir temperature or enthalpy, physical state, their nature and geological setting. LOW-TEMPERATURE GEOTHERMAL FIELDS HIGH-TEMPERATURE GEOTHERMAL FIELDS HOT DRY ROCK GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE
Where can geothermal energy be found?
Geothermal energy is normally sourced from hot springs, geysers and hot rock deep under the ground. Usually, these are exploited to produce power. In the UK, some of the places with geothermal energy production plants include: East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Wessex, Worcester, Cheshire and Northern Ireland.
What is a geothermal spring?
A "geothermal" spring is a "hot" spring where the water is hot at the surface, heated by hot rocks or magma at depth.
Where is HDR geothermal energy comes from?
Cold water is injected into fractured rock and is heated up as it is passed through the hot fractured rock. The hot water put through a heat exchanger. The geothermal heat causes the secondary fluid to flash to vapor which then turns a turbine and generator to produce electricity.

Does geothermal energy end?
Geothermal energy in a nutshell is heated steam, directed by special pipes, that turn turbines. considering that below the surface of the earth we will always have hot rock, and on the surface water we can use then no, geothermal energy does not 'end'.

What are some relationships between moving continents geothermal energy from within earth and metamorphic rock?
Some relationships between moving continents, geothermal energy from within the earth and metamorphic rock are when the continents move it forces rocks into the hot core which then they absorb the geothermal energy and form the metamorphic rock.
How is nuclear energy different from geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy comes from hot rock layers not far below the Earth's surface. Nuclear energy comes from changes in nuclei of certain elements. They are not related in any way
Does the sun produce geothermal energy?
No, the sun does not produce geothermal energy because geothermal energy is produced is from rock formations and liquid filled inside these rock formations inside the earth.
Can molten rock be used as fuel?
No. Molten rock is too hot to be used with most materials and cools rather quickly at the surface. We can use geothermal power in some places, but that does not use molten eock directly, but simply hot rocks underground.
What is the source of energy used by geothermal power plants?
A thorough explanation of the geothermal energy would take a lot of discussion. Briefly; the Earth's core is molten rock (read very hot). The heat rises to the surface in multiple ways. Geothermal power plants make use of this heat (geothermal energy) to generate electrical power.
