How does geothermal power plants obtain geothermal energy from the earth?

Geothermal power plants obtain geothermal energy by drilling wells into the earth to access hot water and steam from underground reservoirs. This hot water and steam are then used to drive turbines, which generate electricity. The heat from the earth's core is essentially harnessed to produce power.


What are the geothermal power plants in the philiphines?

Some of the geothermal power plants in the Philippines include the Tiwi geothermal power plant located in Albay, the Makiling-Banahaw (MakBan) geothermal power plant in Laguna and Batangas, and the Mindanao geothermal power plant in Kidapawan City. These plants harness the natural heat of the earth to generate electricity.


What is the water for geothermal power plants heated by?

The water for geothermal power plants is heated by the Earth's natural heat, which comes from the Earth's core. This heat is transferred to underground reservoirs of hot water or steam, which is then pumped to the surface to generate electricity.


What is the difference in how heat is obtained in geothermal power plant and fossil fueled power plants?

In a geothermal power plant, heat is obtained from the Earth's natural heat by pumping hot water or steam from underground reservoirs. In fossil-fueled power plants, heat is generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas to produce steam that drives turbines. Geothermal power plants produce energy using sustainable and renewable heat sources, while fossil-fueled power plants rely on finite and polluting fossil fuels.


Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?

Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat, not from nuclear power plants. It involves tapping into the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or for heating applications.
