1. Geothermal Energy By: Arianna Greenberg & Christine Doka

2. What is Geothermal Energy? Energy derived from the heat in the interior or the earth Found mainly on plate boundaries, otherwise known as geothermal ‘hot spots’

3. How Geothermal Energy Works

6. Advantages to Geothermal Energy Virtually no pollution Less $$ Less space needed Conserves energy Easy to produce

7. Disadvantages to Geothermal Energy Supply might spontaneously ‘run out’ Hard to find stable location to build plant Large water requirements Harmful gas could escape Possible earthquakes

8. Potential Continuous energy flow Could supply 20% of world’s energy
