Geothermal Energy How It Works

 Geothermal Energy

• It Is created by using heat from the Earth’s

Core. The word geothermal comes from the
Greek words Geo(Earth) and Thermal(heat).
Its found in underground reservoirs, but also
rises to the Earth’s surface In the forms of
what we call Volcanoes, Hot Springs, and
geysers
 How Geothermal Energy Works
1.) The Earth’s hot core creates 4.) The generator Produces Electricity and sends it to power
magma and heats the Earth’s crust lines, which bring electricity to homes and businesses
which made up of rocks and water

2.) A well drilled 2 miles deep into the

Earth’s surface captures the rising hot
water and steam

3.) The hot steam rises to the surface

and pushes a turbine, in which rotates a
generator
How Volcanoes Provide Information
On the interior of the earth

What is really seen in the inside

part of our planet how do
scientists know the components
of the Earth?
Questions regarding about seismic waves

1. Do you have any idea about what is seismic waves

2. What is the types of seimic waves? Explain?

3. What do you call the study of earthquake?

If you wanna answer please raise your

hands.
Questions regarding about seismic waves

1. Do you have any idea about what is seismic waves

A seismic wave is a mechanical wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth or
another planetary body. It can result from an earthquake, volcanic eruption, magma
movement, a large landslide and a large man-made explosion that produces low-frequency
acoustic energy.

A seismic wave is a mechanical wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth or
another planetary body. It can result from an earthquake, volcanic eruption, magma
movement, a large landslide and a large man-made explosion that produces low-frequency
acoustic energy.

2. What is the types of seimic waves? Explain?

P wave - are longitudinal pressure waves that propagate in both solids and liquid. S wave - are transverse
waves that can propagate in solids not in liquids

3. What do you call the study of earthquake?

Ans: Seismology
Waves From Volcanic Outburst Seismic Waves
Deliver Proof Seismic Waves can be categorized into 2
• P-waves - This waves are longitudinal pressure waves
• The study of the Earth’s surface
that propagate both solid and liquids
and interior is the domain of
geology we know little about
2. S-waves - Now this are transverse Waves that can
the interior of the Earth. Most
propagate in solids but not in liquids
of the information we have
comes from seismic waves,
Ex:
which are vibrations in the
body of the Earth.
 Structure of the Earth’s Interior

• Before we move on to structure of the earths interior do you have any

questions about the seismic waves so earl can provide an answer?

• If you don't, now lets move on the structure of earth interior, Before we
start. Can anyone give me the structure of Earth's interior? So as you can
see this is the structure of Earth’s interior lets start with the crust, the
mantle, the outer core, and the last one is the inner core. text
• This accumulated and detailed seismic
studies, coupled with theoretical speculation,
suggest the interior structure shown
schemitically as you can see on the figure.

• The diameter of the entire planet

core is estimated to be 7000km;
that of the 12700 km is the crust,
which is only few tens of
kilometers thick. The region
between the core and the crust is
called the mantle.
 Here's a question.

This is the upper part of the mantle and the crust compromises the ____?

Situated below the lithosphere is a region of plastic consistency called the ____?
 Here's a question.

This is the upper part of the mantle and the crust compromises the ____?

Ans: Lithosphere

Situated below the lithosphere is a region of plastic consistency called the ____?
 Here's a question.

This is the upper part of the mantle and the crust compromises the ____?

Ans: Lithosphere

Situated below the lithosphere is a region of plastic consistency called the ____?

Ans: Asthenosphere
Now I'll introduce the materials from volcanic eruption and information about the interior of the
earth.
• Any idea about what is diamond? So as you can see Diamond are the hardest
substance known on earth. text
• Sometimes diamonds are commonly known for it sparkling characteristics and
they commonly used as a jewelry which is really expensive.

• Recently, scientists studying diamond have found the ages of thousands of

diamonds from southern Africa, where most diamonds are found.

• Do you know the oldest diamond were made 3.3 billion years ago, how
fascinating it is.
• Here a fact do you know the Earth's interior is divided into layers: the
solid inner core, liquid outer core, mantle, and crust. Volcanic eruptions
involve the release of magma from the Earth's mantle. This magma is a
mixture of molten rock, gases, and minerals. When it reaches the
surface, it's called lava. Volcanic rocks, like basalt or andesite, form
from cooled lava, showcasing the diverse materials originating from
Earth's interior.
 Rhyolite: Tiny Crystals That tell the history
Through the use of zircon crystals from Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock, of
ancient volcanic rocks, scientist can magnesium and iron composition.
decipher the changing styles of magmatism
60 million years ago. volcanic rocks are
clearly large volume of rhyolite eruptions.

SHRIMP RG (Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro Probe Re-verse Geometry)

Ion microprobes have been around in various forms for many years. It was not until the
mid-70 that the ion probe was viewed as having the potential to be the geologist’s ultimate
weapon
PETRA III (Positron-Electron Tandem Ring Accelerator III)
Which took up operation in 2009, is the most brilliant storage-ring-based Xray radiation
at Germany’s research center DESY(Deutsches Elektronen - Synchrotron) It has a
outstanding experimental opportunities with X-rays of an exceptionally high brilliance
