What is one disadvantage and why is it bad?

Name one of the resources.

How could geothermal be beneficial to you?

THE END

What Is It ?

Geothermal energy is a RENEWABLE energy source that is deprived from the heat of the core. It can come from volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles.

HISTORY

Magma- using the heat of the lava to accumulate energy

Dry rock- process of taking dry rock to produce energy

Hydrothermal is water heated up under the surface of in fractured or porous rocks.

Low Temperature

  • For direct use
  • 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 220 degrees Fahrenheit
  • used in spas, heat buildings, warm ponds
  • 45 states use it like Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon

Geopressure- pressure within the earth

High Temperature

  • to accumulate energy
  • 220 degrees Fahrenheit and up
  • Most energy is accumulated at 300 degrees Fahrenheit to 700 Degrees.
  • can reach 1000 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Dry Steam Plants, Flash Steam Plants, and Binary Cycle Power plants

HYDROTHERMAL

There are 4 types geothermal resources: Hydrothermal; which is the most developed, Geopressured, Dry Rock, and Magma.

RESOURCES

Questions !!

  • Renewable
  • Clean
  • Used to produce electricity
  • Pollution Free
  • Cheap and affortable
  • not a wide spread source of energy
  • may release harmful gases
  • suited to a particular region
  • can run out of steam
  • transportation

FLASH STEAM PLANTS take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the earth and convert it to steam to drive generator turbines. When the steam cools, it condenses to water and is injected back into the ground to be used again. Most geothermal power plants are flash steam plants.

DRY STEAM PLANTS use steam directly from a geothermal reservoir to turn generator turbines. The first geothermal power plant was built in 1904 in Tuscany, Italy, where natural steam erupted from the earth.

BINARY CYCLE POWER PLANTS transfer the heat from geothermal hot water to another liquid. The heat causes the second liquid to turn to steam, which is used to drive a generator turbine.
