Geothermal Energy
the term for deriving electricity from the heat of the earth is "Geothermal" (literally geo = earth and thermal = heat). Iceland gets a huge portion of its electricity from geothermal energy

If gas is heated its molecules does what?

If you heat a gas, then the internal energy is greater and the atoms can have a greater distance to each other. What means that the bonds are longer and naturally the volume increases.


Energy drawn from heated water within earths crust is called?

Geothermal energy is from heated water within the earth's crust.


What happens to the internal energy of an ideal gas when it is heated from 0C to 4C?

The internal energy of an ideal gas increases as it is heated because the added heat increases the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, leading to an increase in their internal energy. The internal energy is directly proportional to temperature for an ideal gas, so as the temperature increases from 0C to 4C, the internal energy also increases.


Does internal energy increase when ideal ideal gas is heated?

Yes, the internal energy of an ideal gas increases when it is heated because the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases as they move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the container. This increase in kinetic energy is reflected in an increase in the internal energy of the gas.

Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?

Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.


What is the change in internal energy when a system is heated with 35 J of energy while it does 15 J of work?

The change in internal energy is equal to the energy added minus the work done by the system. In this case, the change in internal energy is 35 J - 15 J = 20 J.


What happens to the average kinetic energy of matter when it is heated?

When matter is heated, its average kinetic energy increases. This is because heating raises the internal energy of the particles, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. As a result, the particles have higher kinetic energy and temperature.


When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?

Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
