CiNdY asked:


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 continuosly produced inside the earth.

We are building a home in the midwest and considering geothermal as a way to heat and cool the building. Geothermal requires some electricity. Solar panels could be the source of that electricity, but I haven’t been able to find information of where that has been used or how it’s done.

I ? David Archuleta! asked:


k so i have a science project due tomorrow and we just got it today!! heres wut i need to know:

Wha’s geothermal?

Is this resourse renewable or nonrenewable. Why?

How do we get this resource?

What is the role of the sun in the formation of this energy resourse?

Rin asked:


How to prove geothermal power plant does not violate the second law (especially in mathematic)
I know that it is a close system and it obey the internal energy conservation. But I hardly express it into mathematical to make it a stronger statement. Anyone can help please. Thank You.

newyorknabottle asked:


I am doing a project and I am wondering if it is cost-effective to install a geothermal energy source or solar panels? How much would installing a geothermal energy source cost, and would it make enough energy to supply a typical Californian family throughout the year?

We’re doing uses of volcanoes in our class. Our teacher wants us to do something extra about geothermal energy. And we have to give it in by tomorrow. so help

I’m doing a project in class on the advantages of geothermal energy, we have to convince everyone else that geothermal energy is the best energy source. I’d like to know anything and everything that is good about it. Thanks!

Educator1 asked:


Geothermal energy is often the great hope of renewable energy as it can be continuously and reliably produced 24/7. While it it has the best potential, it is very limited geographically. The best geothermal resources are in Alaska and California, and the best potential resources are west of the Rockies. How do we overcome the geographic limitations of geothermal energy?

Eric asked:


Interested in why we don’t see geothermal plants built in the US… Is it because the energy extracted is too expensive, poor sites in the US, etc. Outside references to reliable reports, sources would be great, thanks!
Re: sources, I’d like references to sources because, not having a background in the area, I don’t know the best places to look. This questions isn’t for some sort of school project.
