Could releasing of geothermal energy from within the Earth's core cause a geological implosion of the Earth or in other words suck the surface of the Earth into its own core?

No. The Earth has been in the process of cooling for over 4.5 billion years. Use of some of that heat for a supply of geothermal energy is incredibly insignificant in that process.

Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from power plants that pump water underground near magma. Iceland uses a lot of geothermal energy as there is an abundance of geological activity near the surface.
How many steam vents are left in the world?
Geothermal vents are constantly forming and closing as magma moves towards the Earths surface and cools as a result of Geological processes.

Does geothermal energy end?
Geothermal energy in a nutshell is heated steam, directed by special pipes, that turn turbines. considering that below the surface of the earth we will always have hot rock, and on the surface water we can use then no, geothermal energy does not 'end'.
What are the geological condition affecting impounded surface water?
The geological condition affecting impounded surface water is flooding or flash flooding. Another term for impounded surface water is drainage basin.
In what form geothermal energy is stored?
Geothermal energy is energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid earth.
Why isn't geothermal energy used more often?
It's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface.
What is a geothermal spring?
A "geothermal" spring is a "hot" spring where the water is hot at the surface, heated by hot rocks or magma at depth.
