Question 3:
What is geothermal energy?
Answer:
Geothermal power plants use heat of the Earth to generate electricity. This
heat energy of the Earth is known as geothermal energy.
When there are geological changes, the molten rocks present in the core of
the earth are pushed to the earth’s crust. This forms regions of hot spot.
Steam is generated when the underground water comes in contact with
these hot spots forming hot springs. This trapped steam is used to
generate electricity in the geothermal power plants.
