Answer 2

Geothermal energy is the energy obtained from the earth(geo) from the hot rocks present inside the earth.

✔✔ It is produced due to the fission of radioactive materials in the earth’s core and some places inside the earth become very hot.

✔✔These are called hot spots.

✔✔They cause water deep inside the earth to form steam.

✔✔As more steam is formed, it gets compressed at high pressure and comes out in the form of hot springs which produces geothermal power.
