Answer: Thermal energy and geothermal energy are both types of renewable energy that harness the heat of the Earth, but there are some key differences, two of the are below:
- Origin of heat: Thermal energy is generated by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The heat is produced by burning these fuels, which releases stored energy in the form of heat. Geothermal energy, on the other hand, is generated by the heat of the Earth's interior. This heat is produced by the natural decay of radioactive elements and the Earth's cooling process.
- Emission: Thermal energy production causes pollution and Greenhouse gas emission, while Geothermal energy doesn’t have any emissions.
