Geothermal energy is heat from underground that is used to make energy.

The earth contains a huge amount of liquid or hot rock at a relatively short distance from the surface. Some of it is welling up now at various points in the world. Hot springs are the result of water seeping into the heated rocks and coming back up hot. In a geothermal power plant water is piped down to the hot area and the returning boiling water is used to produce electricity. It is a fact that lava up welling in the mid-Atlantic is moving Europe and America apart. That is a large amount of geothermal energy at work.

Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.

What is a geothermic field?

A geothermal field is an area of the Earth's crust where elevated heat flow and volcanic activity create the conditions necessary for geothermal energy production. These fields contain underground reservoirs of hot water or steam that can be tapped to generate electricity or heat buildings. Geothermal fields are often located near plate boundaries or volcanic regions.


How much geothermic energy is used in the US?

About 0.4%. The largest scheme was established by the Southampton City Council to heat a number of buildings in the city centre, including the Southampton Civic Centre and the WestQuay shopping centre. Geothermal energy provides 16 GWh of heat per year. Electricity is also generated and exported to the national grid.
