Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials (in currently uncertain[1] but possibly roughly equal[2] proportions). The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface.

The geothermal energy deposits mainly utilized into dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle.
Explanation:
- The dry steam geothermal power plant has thermal water which are extracted from their reservoirs through production wells. It is sent directly to the turbines where they are converted into electricity.
- In flash steam, geothermal power plant water that is trapped at a temperature of 182 degrees or above having high pressure is vaporised into steam. This conversion is done by lowering down the high pressure inside a flash tank. This steam is further utilised in driving turbines to convert it into a useable form.
- In binary cycle, geothermal energy power plant water having much lower boiling than around 57 degrees in the reservoirs is directly converted into steam followed by generating electricity with the turbine.
