What energy resource takes its heat from underground rocks?
Geothermal energy
What is the name of an energy resource which uses heat from underground rocks?
An energy resource which uses heat from underground rocks is known as geothermal energy. This is considered to be the best form of green energy.
What energy resource involves extracting heat from rocks?
The energy resource would be the heat in the rocks in this case. Note 1: I am not aware of any technological project that tries to do just that - extract heat from rocks. However, it should be possible in principle. Note 2: This is only possible if the rocks have a higher temperature than the surroundings. For more information, you may want to read about heat engines, and about the Carnot cycle.
What is the main type of energy used to help convert rocks into metamorphic rocks in the rock cycle?
Thermal energy (heat) and pressure or stress (which is also a form of internal energy of a system and is a form of potential energy).
Is geo thermal energy non renewable?
Yes, fundamentally geothermal energy is NOT a renewable resource. The souge heat for geothermal energy is the heat from Earth's core (caused by the fission of heavy, radioactive isotopes). This heat is dissipating and will not be renewed. Also where geothermal energy is extracted, the turnover rate in the crustal rocks is so slow that the heat source is quickly cooled to the point of exhaustion. (Note, highly volcanic areas are an exception to this).

Is it good or bad to use geothermal power?
good it is a renewable energy resource found in rocks underground (heat from the rdioactive rocks)
What type of energy uses magma or hot dry rocks to generate electricity?
Geothermal energy uses the heat of underground rocks to generate electricity. This is a renewable resource, because the rocks continue to be heated by uranium deposits in situ.
Is open cycle gas turbine is heat engine or not?
yes, it is a heat engine. A heat engine is one that extracts heat energy and converts it to mechanical energy.
What energy resource can be burnt to produce light and heat energy from underground rocks?
Coal is a rock-like fossil fuel produced from dead plants and animals over millions of years.
What is the difference between a type of energy and an energy resource?
well, a type of energy is kinetic, sound or gravitational potential energy, whereas an energy RESOURCE is where energy is from, like heat from a flame, the heat is the type of energy and the flame is the resource. hope this helped! answered by Sarah x
What is heat formed of?
energy
What is light-absorbing pigment that traps the energy in sunlight?
The colour, black, is able to absorb the sun rays, and warm up. Heat exchanging devices extracts this trapped heat (energy) and heat a home.
