The heat energy stored under the earth due to hot rocks (heated by the core of earth) is called geo thermal energy.
Geothermal Hotspot is an area of reduced thickness in the mantle which exerts excess internal heat from the interior of the earth to the outer crust. The get from these hotspots is altered in the form of steam which is used to run a steam turbine that can generate electricity.
ADVANTAGES:
1.Eco-friendly if harnessed correctly.
2.Pollution free and renewable
3. Electricity can be produced
24hours through a day.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. If harnessed incorrectly it cm
produce pollutants.
2. Improper drilling into the earth can release hazardous chemicals and gases.
3. Geothermal power pant sites are prone to running out of steam in the long run.
I hope this would have clear to you.
