Is solar power a form of geothermal energy?
No geothermal energy comes from the earth such as volcanos and other sources of extreme heat. Geo meaning earth and rocks and thermal being heat. Solar energy is its own thing.
Is geothermal energy intermittent?
Geothermal energy. Heat from deep under the ground remains constant, not intermittent, so geothermal plants that drill deep into the hot layers will have constant power.Hydro and wave energy is also constant. Other alternative energy sources (solar, wind, tides) are all intermittent, as power is only available at particular times, and so need energy storage.
Is geothermal the best energy use?
Best? I am unsure what the parameters are that would be used to measure "best". It sure makes sense over many of the other alternative energy sources.
Does geothermal energy change into another substance before it can create energy?
Geothermal energy is energy. It does not change into a substance, although it cam be transformed into other forms of energy. When it is not used directly to heat buildings, geothermal energy (heat) is typically used to run turbines for conversion to electrical energy
What does chemical energy geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is the type of energy that comes from the heat that is within the earth. Chemical energy on the other hand refers to the potential energy of a chemical substance to undergo a chemical reaction.
How is geothermal energy better than other types of energy?
There is very little pollution at all.
Is wind solar energy?
It is not counted as solar energy, but all energy sources other than geothermal can ultimately be traced back to the sun.
What are unconventional energy sources?
Unconventional Energy not to be confused with renewable energy. For the US unconventional energy sources are: nuclear(which is not for many other countries, e.g. France), bio-fuels, solar, geothermal and wind.
Is solar power a form of geothermal energy?
No geothermal energy comes from the earth such as volcanos and other sources of extreme heat. Geo meaning earth and rocks and thermal being heat. Solar energy is its own thing.
Fuels such as the wind and sun that can generate power without being used up?
Wind energy and solar energy are called renewable energy sources. Other renewable energy sources include hydroelectricity (generated by water movement) and geothermal energy.
How do deep sea creatures live without heat?
They use other sources of energy. Like geothermal waters, or just food.
Which alternative energy source is found in Iceland?
The majority of alternative energy sources were put in place by Mannvit Engineering. Currently the most common sources of alternative energy in Iceland are geothermal energy and hydroelectric energy. Mannvit is still exploring other alternative energy sources to be implemented throughout Iceland and the rest of the world.

What types of new sources of energy does Barack Obama propose?
Barack Obama has not specified any "new sources". He does want to get more of certain sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal. So far he has come up with any other energy sources we can do anything with except HOPE.
What energy other than fossil fuels are resources?
Energy resources that are not fossil fuels are often collectively called "renewable resources." These include wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal energy sources.
Is geothermal the best energy use?

Can geothermal energy be change into to any other energy source?
No
