Geothermal energy is supplied by hot water, coming from underground where it has been heated by volcanic action. The hot water can then be used either by heating homes, or providing steam to run turbine powered generators.
Damming rivers, provides Hydro elecricity. This is where water under pressure from a dam, is used to turn water turbines, connected to generators.

Why do people live in earthquake and volcanic zone?
Minerals - volcanic eruptions create minerals which can be found in the volcanic rocks, locals can find this an sell it. Also mines may be created to extract the minerals, this creates jobs for locals. Geothermal Energy - A energy source produced from the steam of the volcano as the steam turns a turbine creating energy. Fertile Soil - Volcanic rocks can fertile the soil really well, so locals can grow crops very well on it. Locals can then sell this and make money. Tourism - People like to come and visit volcanoes and they find that they are interesting and pretty to look at. This brings business to local businesess and can make money. Brittany
What energy do lamps let in?
I assume you mean the energy they use. It really depends on the type of lamps. Often, electrical energy is used. A candle, as well as a lamp with a wick, uses the chemical energy in whatever fuel it uses (for example, the wax, in the case of a candle).
Bernini's 'David' twists with sun energy that the statue actually includes as part of the composition.?
Sun energy in a 17th century? What a fantastic idea. The energy is pure artistic expression. I can assure you this marble statue is not really moving on its pedestal.
What water cycle is powered by energy from the?
I really don;t kbps what is the a ser beca use i más doping my homework!:)
How could iron man's arc reactor work I know there is matter antimatter energy but that would be almost impossible?
His reactor is based off of extreme voltage fusion. you take extremely high amounts of energy and concentrate it on one tiny area of matter. slowly you convert matter to energy and power is generated. in iron man's case he used palladium (I don't really know what palladium has to do with this).
What produces geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is produced by the drilling out of natural gas from the earth into turbines that produce energy. xD This energy is not very common because it is really expensive.
Do people accept geothermal energy?
Most people do not know what geothermal energy really is. It is only used in certain parts of the world where it is accepted.
What energy experts have harnessed geothermal energy?
I dont really know the answer that's why I asked YOU !
Is solar power better than geothermal energy?
There really isn't a "better" type of energy but solar doesn't affect the Earth as much as geothermal energy because we always get the sun but with geothermal energy we have to use more resources. But then again if we have solar energy then when it's dark we don't have the sun to power things unless we stored it which is very complex. so as i said there really isn't a better energy source.
Does mining ores get geothermal energy?
No, it doesn't. Mining and geothermal energy applications generally happen at different locations. To cite one example, Iceland taps geothermal energy to do a lot of heating there. They don't really mine anything. In the big open pit mines where ores of copper, aluminum and other metals are removed, we don't see any geothermal energy being tapped or any geothermal power plants in operation nearby. It may be notable to cite that some of the gold mines of South Africa are places where geothermal energy makes conditions in the deep shafts and drifts uncomfortably hot. But the miners are there for the ore, and no one is really interested in the geothermal possibilities.
What energy does the volcano has?
Geothermal energy
How can geothermal be converted to energy?
Geothermal is energy, we don't convert it to energy. I think what you're really asking is how can we convert geothermal energy into work. There are geothermal energy fields near Calistoga California. There they simply bore into the ground where the natural hot steam is found from volcanic action and siphon off the steam. That steam is funneled through turbines that turn and power up attached electricity generators. Then the geothermal energy converted to electrical energy is used in the conventional way to power up appliances and such in homes and buildings to do work. The power plant there is called Calpine.
Is habitat destruction a disadvantage of geothermal energy?
.Habitat destruction is a disadvantage from human involvement. Geothermal energy is simply the heat from the earth. If you mean to ask if converting it to usable energy destroys habitats then the answer is not really. It mainly involves running a pipe of water underrground to collect heat. But if you mean does the energy itself destroy then the answer is sometimes. Lava is a form of geothermal energy and destroys everything it touches.
Is paper a renewable energy yes or no?
No. It's not really a source of energy (except a tiny amount when it is burnt). Renewable energy includes sun, wind, hydro and geothermal.
Why is geothermal energy not being used everywhere?
There's really only one reason why geothermal energy isn't used everywhere: not everywhere on the planet has some measure of geological activity, which is required for the potential of geothermal energy to exist. Underground reservoirs of water are heated by geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanoes. This water turns to steam and expands. It is the force this steam can exert through its own natural convection that geothermal activity taps into to generate energy. Therefore, geothermal couldn't be done in areas that aren't geologically active, such as the Sahara Desert.
Are binders a renewable resource?
I'm not really sure. Renewable resources are usually qualified as wind, solar, geothermal energy, etc...
How is geothermal energy helpful?
In our lifetimes, we will likely never find another "Free" (free having the meaning of low to no environmental impact, few or no strings attached) and relative to our lives here, infinite energy source outside of Solar or Geothermal. (wind is a derivative form of solar energy, and so is ethanol/biodiesel). Geothermal is particularly quirky/awesome because when we capture the geothermal energy (use heat to generate steam and then electricity) we are really just capturing that energy that is escaping from the earth, and then sending it along its way. IT'S PERFECT. just take the heat that's going to get out anyway, and use it to make electricity. this just might catch on... (drastic oversimplification; however the high-level logic still stands). Our earth is similar to our bodies...we have to take care of them. If we don't take care of them the deteriorate over time. By using geothermal energy we take care of our planet in a healthier way. For more geothermal tips and ideas of living green visit the link below. So yes, Geothermal energy is very good for the environment.
