Geothermal
energy is the heat from Earth. It’s clean and sustainable. Resources of
geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found
a few miles beneath the Earth’s surface and down even deeper to the extremely
high temperatures of molten rock called magma. The steam or hot water comes out
of the cracks in the Earth and when it doesn’t find any way to come out, holes
are drilled with pipes in it to gush the hot water out due to high pressure
which turn the turbines of a generator to produce electricity.
