How long does it take geothermal energy to form?
Millions of years. The geothermal energy is gradually recharged by the decay of radioactive isotopes.
How come geothermal is found in the Earth?
Geothermal heat energy from inside the earth is caused by the radioactive decay of Uranium in the mantle.
Is geothermal energy sun?
No. Geothermal energy uses heat from inside the Earth, which is a combination of heat left over form Earth's formation and heat from the decay of radioactive isotopes within the Earth.
What is geothermal energy and how is it used?
Geothermal power (from the Greek roots geo, meaning earth, and thermos, meaning heat) is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. ... :D
What causes geothermal energy?
because iam beautiful thank you everyone
Geothermal energy is caused by what type of decay?
It is Radioactive Decay.
What king of decay causes geothermal heat?
radioactive
How long does it take geothermal energy to form?
Millions of years. The geothermal energy is gradually recharged by the decay of radioactive isotopes.
Source of energy for geothermal power stations?
decay of radioactive elements
How come geothermal is found in the Earth?
Geothermal heat energy from inside the earth is caused by the radioactive decay of Uranium in the mantle.
What is the heat energy from inside of the earth?
"geothermal" (the source is a combination of original impact energy and radioactive decay.)
Where does a geothermal get its energy?
Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth's interior. This heat originates from the original formation of the earth, radioactive decay and friction due to the tidal forces acting on the magma.
Does falling rain cause geothermal energy?
No, it causes hydroelectricity
Is geothermal energy sun?
No. Geothermal energy uses heat from inside the Earth, which is a combination of heat left over form Earth's formation and heat from the decay of radioactive isotopes within the Earth.
Is geothermal a renewable fuel?
Geothermal energy is renewable until radioactive decay stops occurring in the Earth's mantle, which won't happen for a long time yet.
Why is Geothermal renewable energy?
Strictly speaking geothermal energy is not renewable as we can't grow or make new energy to replace it. It is however essentially inexhaustible as it is renewed by processes like radioactive decay and tidal friction in the magma.
