What is the difference between hydro electric power and geothermal energy?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
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 the difference between hydroelectric energy and geothermal energy?
There both energy resources.
What is the relationship between geothermal power and geothermal energy?
geothermal energy is geothermal power harnessed from the Earth itself
What is the difference between surface runoff and groundwater flow?
becuase by the geothermal energy consist of seven elements that cause that
How do scientists change geothermal energy into electricity?
Geothermal energy manifests by ejecting steam from the ground. This steam is piped to a power plant where it is injected to turbines that are coupled to electric generators.
What is the energy transformation of geothermal power plant?
thermal->Mechanical Kinetic->Electric Potential

How does geothermal energy affect transportation?
Geothermal energy produces clean renewable electricity which can run electric cars, buses and trains.
What difference between electric potential energy and mechanical potential energy?

How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?
geothermal is the heat from the earth being used to produce electric power VS tidal use the movement of the oceans tides to produce electric power.
What is the difference between a electric motor and a generator?
the difference between a electric motor and a generator.Motor- is a device or equipment which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.Generator- is a device or equipment which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
What is the difference between electrical potential energy and potential difference?
Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J
Can you use geothermal for vehicles?
Not directly. But geothermal energy can generate electricity and power (recharge the batteries) of electric cars.
What is the difference between surface runoff and groundwater flow?

What is the difference between energy conversion that takes place in an electric motor with the conversion that takes place in a generator?
An electric motor converts electric energy to mechanical energy while a generator converts mechanical energy to electric energy.
What is the difference between hydroelectric and hydrothermal energy?
the difference between the hydroelectric energy and the hydrothermal is hydrothermal is using geothermal heat (hot rocks) to create electricity by pumping it while the hydroelectric energy it uses the high dams and waterfall to create electricity.
