 It is a renewable energy source because heat
is continuously produced inside the earth.

G T L E R A O M H E
ANSWER:

GEOTHERMAL
 The form of energy that is transferred
between systems or objects with different
temperatures.

A H T E
ANSWER
:
HEAT
 It is a form of renewable energy that uses
the power of moving water to generate
electricity.

Y D L H E O R E E T R C I
ANSWER:

HYDROELECTRIC
 A substance composed of the chemical
elements hydrogen and oxygen and existing in
gaseous, liquid, and solid states.

E A W R T
ANSWER:

WATER
EXPLAIN HOW HEAT FROM INSIDE
THE EARTH (GEOTHERMAL) AND
FROM FLOWING WATER
(HYDROELECTRIC) IS TAPPED AS
SOURCE ENERGY FOR HUMAN USE
HOT AND COLD
Heat is one of the types of energy that is dynamic,
transferable and can be converted into useful forms. It
results to certain level of temperature (hotness or
coldness) of given body .

If we go down into the earth, there is a lot of tremendous

heat that came from the results of radioactivity at its
interior.
WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL?
Geothermal energy is
heat within the earth.
The word geothermal
comes from the Greek
words geo (earth) and
therme (heat).

 HARNESSING GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY
Geothermal Power Plants draw fluids from underground
reservoirs to the surface to produce steam. This steam then
drives turbines that generate electricity. Getting down beneath
the ground, you will experience increase in both temperature and
pressure. Thus, putting up a geothermal power plant, it is required
to drill 1 to 2 miles deep pump steam or hot water into the surface.
At this depth, the power plant that uses hydrothermal resources
(having both water and heat) can attain the required temperature
that is about 300°F.

L
POWERPLAN
T
 DRY STEAM PLANTS

It sips directly hot steam

beneath the ground through
pipes to mobilize generator
turbines.
 Flash Steam Plants
It pipes high pressure hot
water from geothermal
reservoir and convert it into
steam that turn generator
turbines to produce electricity.
 Binary Cycle Plants
It has a system that
transfers heat from hot water
sipped miles deep to other
liquid. Exceedingly high
temperature from geothermal
water changes the other liquid
into steam to drive the generator
turbines.
Geothermal heat pump systems can heat
and cool buildings and can also provide a
source of hot water. Other direct-use
applications include growing plants in
greenhouses, drying crops, heating water
at fish farms, and several processes.
 WATER IS LIFE
Different life processes within and outside the body
requires water to perform biological and ecological tasks. Its
nature and mechanism in the environment can be harnessed to add
up to the supply of energy needed by the community. The key to
this energy conversion is water cycle. Through the unending
process of evaporation, condensation and precipitation, the water
in streams, lakes, rivers, and falls are replenished. Due to its
ability to flow, current is occurred based on the slope
(gravitational) and other external forces (wind).
 Energy in Current
 One requirement for water to become energy resource is
the presence of current. Current in streams and rivers is
largely affected by gravity based on the steepness of
slope of the runways and the obstacles that may hinder
the flow.

 Since the water is flowing down the sea level, it

possesses certain amount of potential energy which is
directly proportional to the density and height where the
source is located. To convert this energy into usable form
(electrical energy), a hydroelectric power plant must be
established.
WHAT IS HYDROELETRIC?
Hydroelectricity is a
form of energy
generated by the
motion of water
(kinetic energy) and
is converted into
electricity.
EXAMPLES OF HYDROELECTRIC
DAMS
Heat from inside the Earth(geothermal) and
flowing water(hydroelectric) are converted
into usable energy for human consumption
through various processes.
1. Geothermal Energy:
 It is obtained by tapping into the Earth’s internal heat
through geothermal power plants or direct use
application.

- Limitations:
a)Depletion: if geothermal resources are
exploited too rapidly, the heat reservoirs can
cool down or become depleted over time,
reducing their energy output.
b)Location Dependency: Geothermal energy is most
accessible in regions with active volcanoes, hot
springs, or tectonic plate bounderies. Not all areas
have suitable geothermal resources.
c)Maintenance: Geothermal systems require careful
maintenance to prevent mineral build up and
maintain their efficiency.
2. Hydroelectric Energy:

 It is generated by capturing the kinetic energy of

flowing water to turn turbines and generate
electricity.
- Limitations:
a)Water Availability: Hydroelectric power
depends on a consistent supply flowing
water, which can be affected by
droughts, seasonal changes, or altered
river flow due to dams.
b)Environmental Impact: Building large dams can
disrupt ecosystems, displace communities, and
alter river ecosystems.
c)Sediment Accumulation: Dams can trap
sediment, reducing their long-term efficiency and
requiring periodic maintenance.
