Well i don't know what answers community is doing down there but here is the answer !

The force of flowing water is used to rotate the blades of a turbine and that turbine is then connected to a generator which work on the principle of induced EMF which is due to the movement of coil in the generator.
If you have seen the pirates of Caribbean then in one of the movies Jack Sparrow is stuck on a big wooden wheel, that is what was used in older times to generated electricity at a household level.

How the electricity generated from geothermal energy or heat?

Electricity generated from geothermal energy is produced by tapping into heat stored beneath the Earth's surface. This heat is used to boil water and create steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. The steam is then condensed back into water and recycled in a closed-loop system.


How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.


What is geothermal energy and how is converted to electricity?

Geothermal energy is heat generated within the Earth's crust. It is converted to electricity by tapping into hot underground reservoirs of water or steam. This heat is used to turn turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.


How does Earth get electricity?

Earth does not "get" electricity as a natural resource. However, electricity can be generated through various methods on Earth, such as by burning fossil fuels, harnessing renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, or utilizing nuclear power, among other methods.


How is geothermal energy collected and utilized for power generation?

Geothermal energy is collected by drilling wells into the Earth's crust to access hot water and steam. This hot water and steam are then used to drive turbines, which generate electricity. The generated electricity is then sent to the power grid for distribution to homes and businesses.
