What is produced in energy transformation?
electricity
What is the primary energy transformation for most energy resources?
Electricity
What describes this energy transformation from the turning turbine to electricity?
kinetic energy into electric energy
What type of energy can be produced when heat from inside of the earth is used?
The energy produced by heat within the earth's crust is called geothermal energy.
What energy transformation is in fan?
electricity to rotary mechanicalrotary mechanical to "wind"
Where in India the geothermal energy used?
In India , geothermal energy is produced at manikaran in himachal pradesh for electricity generation
Give one disadvantage to converting from fossil fuels to geothermal energy?
Converting one form of energy to other always lost some energy in the process. The use of Geothermal energy is making electricity, fossil fuel can make electricity through generator. Adding unnecessary step from fossil fuel -> geothermal -> electricity is nothing more than additional loss in energy transformation process.
What is the energy transformation to produce electricity using geothermal?
Geothermal energy plants use the natural heat (which is thermal energy) of the earth. Water turned into steam is used to turn steam turbines. This is a conversion of the thermal energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy of the turbine is coupled to a generator, and is converted there into electricity, which is electromagnetic energy.
Explain how geothermal energy is produced and used?
Geothermal energy is produced by the Earth's heat deep below the surface. This natural heat is harnessed and exploited as a renewable resource for electricity generation.
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.
What are the economical problems with geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is usually located near a volcano or geothermal vents. These are frequently not located near large populations. Therefore one of the biggest problems would be the generation of this energy into electricity at the site, and then the transmission of this energy to the population that would require it.
What percentage of energy is produced by geothermal energy in the US?
According to US Energy Information Administration data for 2009, geothermal energy (based on electricity net generation kilowatthour billion figures) accounted for 3.58% of total renewable electricity generated in the USA in 2009 and just 0.38% of total electricity generated in 2009. All renewable sources (mostly sourced from hydroelectric, geothermal and wind) accounted for 10.7% of total electricity generated.
When to use geothermal energy?
use geothermal energy when you need electricity or radiant light.
How can geothermal energy be used?
geothermal energy is used to rotate turbines which in turn produce electricity
What kind of energy is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy that is made and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy determines the temperature of things. Geothermal energy can be used for electricity.
Were is geothermal used?
geothermal energy is used to heat homes and provide electricity.
How is geothermal energy provided to consumers?
Geothermal energy is harnessed and becomes electricity. This is then fed into the grid and is the same as any other electricity coming into our homes.
