Geothermal Geothermal energy is basically the heat from the earth. It is mostly hot rocks under the ground that produce steam that powers turbines that creates electricity.

Advantages of Geothermal Energy If used in the correct way then there is no pollution Stations are self sufficient energy wise The stations do not harm landscape as the stations are very small

Disadvantages of Geothermal Energy If used in the incorrect way then can leave areas polluted as it may release harmful gases Stations are prone to running out of steam
