No, geothermal energy is derived from the heat beneath the Earth's surface, primarily from the decay of radioactive elements and residual heat from the Earth's formation. It is not directly driven by the sun's energy.

Which is not driven by energy from the sun?

Geothermal energy, which is derived from the heat within the Earth's crust, is not directly driven by energy from the sun. Other renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro power all have the sun as their primary source of energy.


Is geothermal from the sun?

Geothermal energy is not directly from the sun. It comes from the heat within the Earth's core due to radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium. This heat is continuously produced and used for geothermal energy generation.

Which energy doesn't need the sun's energy?

every energy requires the suns energy the sun is the ultimate source of energy for everything -O-A2. Nuclear energy does not depend on the sun, nor does geothermal energy from the earth's core. Tidal energy is largely driven by the moon but the sun also has some effect.


Which is not drivien by energy from the sun?

The sun is by far (99.999%) where the earth gets all of it's energy from. Therefore you can make the argument that every process on earth, man or nature, is driven by the sun.


What does not use the sun's energy in any way?

Rocks do not use the sun's energy in any way.


Does the sun produce geothermal energy?

No, the sun does not produce geothermal energy because geothermal energy is produced is from rock formations and liquid filled inside these rock formations inside the earth.
