Is geothermal energy affected by solar energy?
Since geothermal energy comes from underneath the earth you would say no. But since there is water flowing to from the the wells that produce the geothermal energy and solar energy (heat from the sun) can change water temperature, it can.
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.
How does using Geothermal energy effect the environment?
Geothermal energy can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by replacing energy that would have come from burning fossil fuels. It is basically a fairly clean energy source
Will it be easy to assimilate geothermal energy into our lives?
Only for large-scale energy developments as in Iceland, where it is used to generate electricity. Individual use of geothermal energy would be too complex and costly.
Why do we say geothermal energy is not sustainable?
Not only is it sustainable, it's also a "passive" energy source ***

What would be an example for geothermal energy?
volcanoes & geysers
Are fossil fuels example of geothermal energy?
No, thats chemical energy. Geothermal would be using heat that comes from within the earth itself.
What locations would be suitable for geothermal energy?
any where hehe

Where would geothermal energy be used?
It is used every day in Iceland.
What would happen if we ran out of fuels such as petrol and diesel?
Without petrol (gasoline) and diesel fuel, we would be forced to use other forms of energy. We would rely more on solar energy, wind, human energy, geothermal energy, and nuclear energy. If we were in close danger of running out of fossil fuels, we could transition to using other forms of energy.
What would happen if you didnt have patriotism?
nothing

What is the source of energy used by geothermal power plants?
A thorough explanation of the geothermal energy would take a lot of discussion. Briefly; the Earth's core is molten rock (read very hot). The heat rises to the surface in multiple ways. Geothermal power plants make use of this heat (geothermal energy) to generate electrical power.
