♥ unique renewable energy that makes heat of energy inside the earth

♥ natural energy flow

♥ it is clean and sustainable

♥ 'Geo' means earth and 'therm' means heat and hence geothermal energy is in form of the heat energy generated and stored inside of the earth.

Answer:

Geothermal power is a form of renewable energy that taps into the heat emanating from the earth's core. Geothermal energy comes from the natural heat of the Earth, primarily due to the decay of the naturally radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium. Because of the internal heat, the Earth's surface heat flow averages 82 mW/m2, which amounts to a total heat of about 42 million megawatts. Geothermal Energy is captured through (a) Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity (b) Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings.
