What is the start up time for geothermal power station?
Geothermal power stations are built by digging into the Earth's crust and tapping into the direct heat that is never ending. It generally takes around nine months to start a geothermal power station.
What are disadvantages of Geothermal energy?
The disadvantages of geothermal energy are that after a while the heat below the ground may become dissipated. The power plant may have to stand idle for some time to let the heat build up again underground.
How is a geyser an example of geothermal energy?
The heat from the geothermal energy boils water that is underground. if it has enough pressure the water comes up to the Earth's surface.
How does geothermal energy effect geysers?
the heat from the geothermal energy boils water that is underground. if it has enough pressure the water comes up to the Earth's surface.
What is heat from the earth called?
Geothermal. it is called geothermal. Geothermal thermal energy is what you get when water is pumped through pipes deep under the crust and the water is heated creating steam that travels up the pipe and then is transformed into geothermal heat and energy.
What is a rough estimate of start up costs for using geothermal energy in a home?
10 to 20 thousand

Is the cost of geothermal energy going up or down?
Up.

Heat built up inside the earth is called?
this is a bad search place cause if i wanted to i could put something dumb so dont use this
How can geothermal be converted to energy?
Geothermal is energy, we don't convert it to energy. I think what you're really asking is how can we convert geothermal energy into work. There are geothermal energy fields near Calistoga California. There they simply bore into the ground where the natural hot steam is found from volcanic action and siphon off the steam. That steam is funneled through turbines that turn and power up attached electricity generators. Then the geothermal energy converted to electrical energy is used in the conventional way to power up appliances and such in homes and buildings to do work. The power plant there is called Calpine.
How is geothermal energy captured?
Geothermal energy is recovered by what is called an "well". No I'm not talking about a wishing well. The well pumps up the wanted energy to a storage tank inside it. The energy is underground. That's why they use wells.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of thermal energy?
There are two main types of thermal energy - solar and geothermal. Solar energy is renewable and sustainable, and after the initial investment, is free. Geothermal energy is renewable, sustainable, and clean reducing reliance on foreign energy sources. The disadvantages are mostly financial because of the start up costs. While solar is an individual form of energy, geothermal requires large generation plants. Also solar viability is dependent on the amount of sunshine the area receives.
What are the two sources of energy for volcanoes and earthquakes?
Geothermal. Just search it up.
