How is geothermal energy made into energy?
Power plants produce geothermal energy by utilizing geothermal dry steam or geothermal hot water accessed by digging wells. Dry steam or hot water is brought to the surface through pipes and processed into electricity in the power plant.

There are three different ways that power plants process geothermal energy. The three different methods are dry steam, flash steam and binary-cycle. All three methods use steam to power a turbine which drives a generator that produces electricity.

• Dry steam geothermal power plants use steam that is brought from below the earth's surface through pipes, directly to the power plant's turbines.

• Flash steam geothermal power plants use hot water that is brought from below the earth's surface. The hot water is sprayed into a tank and creates steam.

• Binary-cycle geothermal plants use moderate temperature water from a geothermal source and combine it with another chemical to create steam. The steam powers the turbine that drives the generator to create electricity.
Geothermal energy has other uses besides the production of electricity in power plants.Geothermal sources of hot water can be used to heat buildings. Hot water is pumped through pipes located in the building walls to heat the building.Geothermal hot water can also be used as a household hot water source.Geothermal hot water does not need to be heated and is therefore a clean and cheap source of hot water.
Why were power plants made?
To produce electricity
Why air important in soil?
Air is important to plants because plants are living things so they breathe through the small pores present on the lower side of the leaves of the plants called stomata.Plants also need Carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis. The aquatic plants get it from the water.Plants all need the carbon dioxide in the air to go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is required to produce the nutrients the plant needs to grow and thrive.
Why were Nuclear Power Stations made?
Nuclear power plants were made in the hope of providing a more efficient source of electricity than is obtained from coal powered plants.
Can geothermal resources be man made?
No! Geothermal energy can NOT be man-made, but you can find it in homes and businesses etc. Geysers, volcanoes, pools of boiling mud, and fumaroles are the most common geothermal resources.
What is geothermal energy made out of?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy that is generated and stored in the Earth. Geothermal energy is used to produce electricity. 🌀
What is the largest source of man made mercury in the environment?
power plants fueled by fossil fuels
How did fosil fuels begin with energy from the sun?
Because sunlight allowed plants to grow, which made it possible for animals to eat the plants. Eventually the plants got turned into fossil fuels. Apart from geothermal and nuclear energy all energy sources on earth originated with sunlight.
