TEST 3. Using the diagram above, arrange the steps on how a geothermal power plant generates electricity. Write 1 to 5 on
the spaces provided.

_________ Cooling tower cools the steam which it condenses back to water.

_________ Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface.

_________ The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.

_________ When the water reaches the surface, the drop in pressure causes the water to turn into steam.
