What is the function of a injection well in a geothermal energy power plant?

Water is pumped down an injection well deep into the earth, where it gathers heat from the surrounding rocks. It then rises up a different well, either as very hot water or as steam, to be used to turn turbines to generate electricity.

Why is geothermal energy harmful?
Geothermal energy is not harmful. There are dangers in any power plant, of course, but the advantages of geothermal energy far outweigh the disadvantages. The advantages are that it is renewable and pollution free.
Who discovered geothermal energy?
The paleo-Indians of North America used geothermal energy 10,000 years ago to cook food. In the 18th century Italy used geothermal energy for industrial purposes, but the first geothermal power plant was put in in 1913.
What type of object is used to transfer thermal energy into electrical energy?
geothermal plant
Disadvantages of geothermal power plant?
A geothermal power plant has a very low carbon footprint. However these types of plants are not efficient at producing energy.
Does thermal energy run on gasoline?
Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.

What is a house whose energy needs all come from geothermal soures?
WM is a power plant and geothermal helps power homes its called GP Geothermal Power!
Does geothermal power leave a carbo footprint?
A small one yes. To harvest the geothermal energy you need to drill, build plant and infrastructure. This drilling, and construction has a carbon footprint (it needs energy to do). However the geothermal energy harvested has no carbon footprint.
What energy is needed to create electricity in a geothermal power plant?
The energy from earth is required. This energy is used to create electricity.
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 a Geothermal Design Engineer?
geothermal design engineer is a person who has ability to estitmate the suitable area for establishment geothermal power plant and to pridect the potentinial energy to the studeid area
