Question

difference between ocean thermal energy and geothermal energy 10th class question

Answer 1

Explanation:

• ocean thermal is extracted from the heat generated by ocean and seas.
• whereas geo thermal is extracted through the heat which is present inside earth ,like geysers .
• ocean thermal plants are uses low melting point elements for energy .
• geothermal doesnt need these.
• ocean thermal plants are set up at the places where temp. of oceans are higher due to heat and other environmental conditions.
• geothermal plants are mainly set up on the areas of volcanic region for easy acces to heat.

Answer 2

Answer:

Geothermal energy and ocean thermal energy differ greatly in their source of energy .

Explanation:

Geothermal Energy:

• The word geo means "earth," and thermal means "heat.".
• The term geothermal refers to the heat generated by rock that is present inside the earth.
• This is non non conventional form of energy.

Ocean Thermal Energy(OTE):

• Ocean thermal energy (OTE), is derived from the temperature differences (thermal gradients) between ocean surface waters and deep ocean waters are used to produce energy.
• This is conventional form of energy.
