energy, sources of hydrogen, production of hydrogen, electrolysis of water, thermal decomposition
of water, thermo chemical production bio-chemical production.

Geothermal Energy Conversion:

 Geothermal energy is the thermal energy present in the interior of the earth.
• Geothermal energy can be extracted from earth²s interior in the form of heat.
• Volcanoes, geysers and hot springs are visible signs of the large amounts of heat lying in
earth’s interior.
• The geothermal energy from earth²s interior is almost inexhaustible.
• The heat is generated within the earth due to the decaying process of radioactive isotopes.
• The molten rock within the earth is called magma, which is nearest to earth²s surface with the
temperature about 3000°C.
