What gp is an energy resource from hot rocks?

Geothermal power is an energy resource derived from hot rocks.


What type of energy can be produced when heat from inside of the earth is used?

The energy produced by heat within the earth's crust is called geothermal energy.


What is the difference between hydroelectric and hydrothermal energy?

the difference between the hydroelectric energy and the hydrothermal is hydrothermal is using geothermal heat (hot rocks) to create electricity by pumping it while the hydroelectric energy it uses the high dams and waterfall to create electricity.


Solar energywindand geothermal are what type of energy resource?

Fossil fuels - coal, natural gas, oil. Nuclear - uranium. Solar - energy from the sun. Hydro - energy from moving water. Geothermal - energy from hot rocks under the earth's surface. Wind - energy from the wind. Tidal - energy from rise and fall of tides. Waves - energy from ocean waves. Biomass - energy from burning plant material. Incinerators - energy from burning trash.


How can geothermal be converted to energy?

Geothermal is energy, we don't convert it to energy. I think what you're really asking is how can we convert geothermal energy into work. There are geothermal energy fields near Calistoga California. There they simply bore into the ground where the natural hot steam is found from volcanic action and siphon off the steam. That steam is funneled through turbines that turn and power up attached electricity generators. Then the geothermal energy converted to electrical energy is used in the conventional way to power up appliances and such in homes and buildings to do work. The power plant there is called Calpine.
