Geothermal energy is often used as power source for some countries and has 2 distinct ways of generation; geothermal power plants and geothermal heat pumps along with its advantages and disadvantages.
2. Where does geothermal energy come from?
—·Geothermal energy are found underneath at the Earth's crust, in the rocks and fluids to be exact.
3. What makes geothermal energy a good alternative source of electric power?
—·Geothermal energy is a good alternative source of electric power itself but for the record, it can be extracted without burning a single fossil fuel, produces only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide, doesn't release emissions, has an incredible charm of availability, and is negligibly inexpensive.
4. What are some of the limitations associated with geothermal energy?
—·It has some environmental problems, the construction of geothermal power plants can affect the stability of land. To be honest, geothermal power plants have to lessen because good geothermal reservoirs are hard to exist.
5. Why is geothermal energy not always a renewable energy source?
—·Geothermal energy isn't always a renewable energy source because reservoirs can be depleted of the fluid is removed faster than replaced and will take a lot of effort on injecting the fluid back to the reservoir after the thermal energy has been utilized.
