geothermal wells
The word geothermal comes from the Greek words geo (earth) and therme (heat).
So, geothermal energy is heat from within the earth. We can use the steam and
hot water produced inside the earth to heat buildings or generate electricity.
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because the water is replenished
by rainfall and the heat is continuously produced underground. |
