Answer 1

Answer:

geothermal energy is an example of b) potential resource.

Answer 2

Geothermal energy is an actual source of energy (option a)

• Geothermal energy is the energy found stored within the Earth's crust.
• They are formed as a result of natural processes taking place inside the Earth and hence, they are an actual source of energy.
• The core of the earth has a temperature similar to the sun due to continuous nuclear fusion reactions.
• Rocks present inside the earth melt due to extreme temperatures.
• The molten rocks get pushed towards the crust as they become lighter.
• When they come in contact with the groundwater, steam is produced.
• This steam is harnessed and used as geothermal energy.
• It is green energy and is abundantly available.
