    Geothermal energy harnesses heat from within the Earth to generate electricity. It is a renewable source of energy derived from natural processes that generate heat below the surface of the Earth, including radioactive decay, friction from tectonic plates, and residual heat from the planet's formation. Geothermal reservoirs form where hot water and steam become trapped within permeable underground rock formations, and can be located by analyzing soil, underground temperatures, and identifying areas with geysers, hot springs, boiling mud pots, and volcanoes. Geothermal power plants tap into these reservoirs to utilize the hot water or steam to drive turbines that generate electricity.

    WIND ENERGY

    I'm hidden beneath the Earth's deep embrace,


    A source of power in a secret place.
    Hot rocks and steam, a renewable dance,
    Guess my name, in every chance.

    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
    I flow with force, a river's might,
    Harness my energy day and night.
    Dams hold me back, turbines in play,
    What am I, powering homes far away?

    HYDROPOWER
    I harness the power from the sky,
    With rays of light, I'll never be shy.

    What is a Geothermal Energy?
    What is a Geothermal Energy?
    The energy of the earth is
    generated by various natural
    processes:

    1. Heat from the planet formed


    and accreted, which has not
    yet been lost
    2. Decay of the radioactive
    elements
    3. friction
    GEOTHERMAL RESERVOIR

    Can be suspected in the


    areas where we find

    - Geyser
    - Boiling mud pot
    - Volcanoes
    - Hot spring
    GEOTHERMAL RESERVOIR

    - Rising hot water and steam is


    trapped in the permeable and
    porous rocks to form a reservoir
    - Reservoirs can be discovered by

    1. Testing the soil


    2. Analyzing the underground
    temperature
