Geothermal Energy
EXPECTATIONS
True or False. Write TRUE if the statement is correct; if FALSE, replace the
underlined word to make it correct.
1. Geothermal energy refers to the energy which flows out from the center to the
surface of Earth.
2. The heat rising from the magma warms underground pools of water called
geothermal power plant.
3. Geothermal energy starts with a hot, molten rock called magma, found
kilometers below Earth’s surface.
4. Geothermal energy is used to produce electricity.
5. Philippines remains the world’s second-largest user of geothermal energy.
LESSON

ermal.html
The following steps are followed to generate electricity in a geothermal power
plant
1. Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the
surface.
2. When the water reaches the surface, the drop in pressure causes the hot water
electricity.
4. The cooling tower cools the steam which condenses back to the water.
5. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.
Learning Competency:
1. Create a diagrammatic representation of geothermal energy flow in a
geothermal power plant.
2. Explain how geothermal energy is transformed into electrical energy.
3. Realize the importance of geothermal energy.
Learning Objective:
Direction: A. Fill in the missing word/s to complete the paragraph. Use the choice
box given below.
When the water reaches the surface, the drop in pressure causes the hot
water to turn into steam.
Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the
surface.
The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.
The cooling tower cools the steam which condenses back to the water.
The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces
electricity.
Closure:
Direction: Complete the flow chart showing the geothermal energy flow in a
geothermal power plant.
