I assume you're asking about a natural gas fired plant. The gas is burned to heat water and produce steam. The steam is piped to a steam turbine causing the turbine to spin rapidly. As the steam does work on the turbine, its temperature drops. The turbine is connected by a shaft to an electrical generator. The spinning generator converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy by moving magnets through conducting wires. This produces an electric field which pushes electrons through the wires.

What factor has the biggest impact on the electricity produced in a hydroelectric power station?

The biggest factor that impacts the electricity produced in a hydroelectric power station is the water flow or water volume available. The amount of water flowing through the turbines directly affects the power output generated. Other factors that can influence electricity production include the head height, turbine efficiency, and overall plant design.

Do geothermal power stations make pollution?

No. Construction equipment used to build the station will burn fossil fuels and produce some pollution. When the station is complete it will produce pollution free electricity. The station will require some electric power from the grid to operate, and some of that electricity may be produced by coal powered plants which do produce pollution, but the geothermal power station will not produce pollution.
