Geothermal energy is the heat energy present inside earth in certain regions called hot spots. Due to geological changes, molten rocks formed in the deeper hot regions of earth’s crust are pushed upwards and are trapped in hot spots. When underground water comes in contact with the hot spot, steam is generated. This steam is routed through a pipe to a turbine and used to generate electricity.
Geothermal energy is a form of energy conversion in which heat energy from within Earth is captured and harnessed for cooking, bathing, space heating, electrical power generation, and other uses.
The heat energy obtained from the molten rocks formed in the deeper hot regions inside the earth are called geothermal energy.
Due to geological changes, molten formed in the deeper hot regions of earth’s crust are pushed upward and trapped in certain regions called ‘hot spots’. This is called Geothermal energy.
