    This document discusses the history and future of geothermal energy. It describes how the Romans used geothermal hot spots to heat copper cooking pots and how modern home heating systems use geothermal energy through radiators. A future invention discussed is Internal Magma Drills that could use molten rock to generate electricity. The document also lists some benefits of geothermal energy, such as providing natural heat and electricity without harmful emissions, but notes some risks if geothermally heated water leaks into ponds.

    Past Invention: copper cooking pots

    Roman people put them over geothermal hot spots

    Modern Invention: Home Heating/ Radiators


    They help us by keeping our houses warm.

    Future invention: I.M.D.


    Internal Magma Drills use molten rock to create electricity.

    Good and bad things about Geothermal Energy


    Good

    Bad

    No harmful smoke Plants grow bigger because of the nutritious water. More electricity More natural heat

    Some smelly smoke If water that has been tainted with electricity leaks into a pond fish and ducks will die

    X-TRA INFO

    The first geothermal power plant The biggest geothermal power plant in the world Indonesia plans to tap volcano Old faithful geyser in the U.S.
