Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's core. As we can't examine this directly, scientists are uncertain just what produces this energy. Some will come from radioactive decay, and some is the residue from when the Earth was formed as a lump of hot matter, from some unknown supernova. As far as we know there is no nuclear fission process going on in the core, though I don't see why this should be discounted. Nuclear energy as produced by man is definitely a process of nuclear fission, so this is the difference.

How does nuclear energy use differ from geothermal and solar energy use?
C. Geothermal and solar energy are both renewable, while nuclear energy is noy...
What energy is better nuclear or geothermal?
geothermal is better because it is eco-friendly
What nuclear process usually occurs in geothermal energy?
There is no nuclear process involved, geothermal energy comes from hot material near the earth's surface. It is related to volcanic activity.
Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from power plants that pump water underground near magma. Iceland uses a lot of geothermal energy as there is an abundance of geological activity near the surface.
Which alternative energy sources are not affected by the sun?
Geothermal Hydroelectric PowerCoalWindHope this helps!
Is geothermal energy and nuclear energy different?
Yes.
How is nuclear energy different from geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy comes from hot rock layers not far below the Earth's surface. Nuclear energy comes from changes in nuclei of certain elements. They are not related in any way
