because they are diamonds.
Geothermal power is an energy resource derived from hot rocks.
The energy produced by heat within the earth's crust is called geothermal 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.
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.
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.

Geothermal
Energy extracted from hot rocks under the earth's surface.
The energy produced by heat within the earth's crust is called geothermal energy.
No hydroelectric uses water, usually stored behind a dam to drive a turbine. The hot rocks you speak of is geothermal energy. The most prolific use of geothermal energy is in Iceland.
geothermal x :D hope i helped x
hot magma heating up the earth and rocks which is transferred into water and stuff!

The heat comes from hot rocks deep under the surface of the earth.
A "geothermal" spring is a "hot" spring where the water is hot at the surface, heated by hot rocks or magma at depth.
It is use to generate electricity from below earth's surface!!!!! Its an inexhaustible energy source that uses hot magma or hot dry rocks to generate electricity.
Geothermal energy uses the heat of underground rocks to generate electricity. This is a renewable resource, because the rocks continue to be heated by uranium deposits in situ.
