Is volcano a type of geothermal energy?

No, a volcano is not a type of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy refers to heat stored beneath the Earth's surface that can be harnessed for power generation, while a volcano is a natural phenomenon where magma, gas, and ash are expelled from the Earth's crust. Volcanoes can be a potential source of geothermal energy, but they are not the same thing.


How does a volcano represent kinetic and potential energy?

a volcano has both potential and kinetic energy because when the molten rocks have no moment before the irruption ............... when the irruption is above to start, the potential energy turns into kinetic energy and irrupts ........... the lava slows down and stop ( potential energy )


Reaction require energy in order to take place is?

Endothermic reactions require energy input in order to take place. This energy is needed to break the existing bonds in the reactants before new bonds can be formed in the products. Examples of endothermic reactions include baking, photosynthesis, and the reaction between citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in a baking soda volcano.
