they both pollute.both fossil fuels and geothermal energy pollute they envirenment because when the water(steam) comes out to power the turbines it bring dust and other pollutents into the air.

What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric energy?
they arn't the same type of energy
How do fossil fuels nuclear energy and solar energy generate electricity in the same way?
becase there weird
What are some strengths of geothermal?
Geothermal energy is considered a renewable energy source. Which means that, unlike the fossil fuels we rely on for energy, we can continue to use geothermal without having to be concerned that we will run out of energy. In terms of electricity generation, a geothermal power plant will emit only about 1% of the carbon dioxide that a fossil fuel powered plant would produce to generate the same amount of electricity. Although this may not be as good as solar or wind powered forms of electricity generation, geothermal does have the advantage of being able to produce a steady supply of electricity 24/7, something that most renewable energy sources can't.
Is Geothermal the same as Solar. If it is not the same then what is Geothermal?
Geothermal energy is not the same as solar energy- geothermal refers to heat generated by the earth, not the sun.
What other forms of heating are there other than coal?
Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned to produce heat. Other fossil fuels that can do the same are oil and natural gas. Renewable energy can also be used to produce heat. Solar, hydro, geothermal, wind and biofuels can all be used to produce electricity for heating.
What are the current limitations of fossil fuels?
See the answer to what are the limitations of fossil fuels, they will always be the same.
Explain the type of energy released when fossil fuels are burned?
Basically the same as when any substance burns. Mainly heat energy.
What is the same between wind power and fossil fuel?
how are fossil fuels same from wind power
How are biomass fuels and fossil fuels alike?
All the chemical changes are the same.
How can geothermal energy be converted to electrical energy?
The same way that burning fossil fuel is used to produce steam to turn an electrical generator. Geothermal heat from far beneath the ground is captured and used to turn a dynamo or turbine to generate electricity.
How can we generate energy in Barbados without using fossil fuels?
Basically, you can use the same methods in Barbados as anywhere else in the world.
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Same way they get energy now. Plants get energy from sunlight via photosynthesis and animals get energy from eating plants and other animals.
