1. Geothermal Energy By Brooke Miller

2. Geothermal energy is formed and generated in the Earth.

3. Geothermal energy is thermal energy and thermal energy is energy that determines the temperature of matter.

4. The Earth’s Geothermal energy originates from the original forming of the Earth, from radioactive decay of minerals and and from volcanic activity.

5. Geothermal gradient is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and it’s surface.

6. Geothermal energy generated from hot springs is used for space heating and bathing. It is also used to generate electricity.

7. Geothermal power is coast effective, reliable, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

8. Geothermal power has historically been limited to areas near tectonic plate boundaries.

9. The power generated by geothermal energy is more cleaner for the environment and can help reduce global warming.

10. Geothermal power is considered to be sustainable because the heat extracted is small compared to the earth’s heat content.
