Question

Explain geothermal energy ?how can it be harnessed to produce eletrial energy

Answer 1

Geothermal energy is produced by the heat of Earth's molten interior. Thisenergy is harnessed to generateelectricity when water is injected deep underground and returns as steam (or hot water, which is later converted to steam) to drive a turbine on an electricpower generator.

Answer 2

It is nothing but the Thermal energy stored in the Earth.

This heat is used up to created steam to move the turbines and produce electricity.It is a renewable source of Energy and clean energy.

This heat is obtained by the magma beneath the crust in the mantle.

In India, the Ladakh region, Cambay region, the western coast of India, the Godavari valley, the Sikkim region, the middle course of Mahanadi river, and the major part of Madhya Pradesh including Jalgaon are the region which are best and suitable for the set up of Geothermal plants.
