  1. Okay,
  2. so Fernando,
  3. latino, Mario san Jose
  4. and I am here from the La Mondo.
  5. We are talking
  6. today. Our subject is about
  7. geothermal energy
  8. and how does it work
  9. here.
  10. Guadalupe yesenia
  11. Chavez is gonna talk to you about it,
  12. take it away
  13. hola soy. Guadalupe Maria, yesenia and Maya Della Maya.
  14. And I'm here to talk to you about geothermal energy.
  15. So, first of all,
  16. Hello. So my name is so geothermal energy.
  17. First of all,
  18. It is a renewable resource of energy that does not require the use of fossil fuels.
  19. Unlike other renewable energy
  20. sources,
  21. geothermal energy does not require the sun or the wind
  22. for it is 100% dependable on the Earth's Center core.
  23. The earth's core will always continue to produce
  24. energy unless the earth dies.
  25. So how do they receive energy from the center of the earth?
  26. Since the center of the earth is extremely hot,
  27. About 10,800°F.
  28. It contains a lot of energy.
  29. They first dig up trenches to install
  30. loop systems which moves the antifreeze solution around
  31. it is which picks up the heat from the ground.
  32. Then they distribute liquid into the pipes which go about 300 or 400 ft down.
  33. When the pipes reached the bottom,
  34. the heat of the core causes the liquid to evaporate.
  35. Then the pipes send the steam of the evaporated liquids
  36. to the heat pump, which convert
  37. the heat into energy and we can easily distribute
  38. should be dispersed
  39. through the,
  40. through the home.
  41. And also what I just said,
  42. I would like to explain again through this diagram right here.
  43. I wish I could point. But look, it does this.
  44. Hello.
  45. So I'd just like to show you that since right here
  46. first
  47. they inject water down
  48. and at the bottom.
  49. So when the water, the water begins to evaporate at the bottom and then that's where
  50. the hot water take, they take the hot
  51. steam,
  52. they take the hot water converting to steam and they and from
  53. the steam it turns that it generates the turbine generator which causes
  54. electricity.
  55. Next one,
  56. I would like to show you some data scoliosis, some fun facts about it.
  57. It is one of the best renewable energy source there is it uses
  58. zero fossil fuel. It says like
  59. it receives,
  60. it has no
  61. energy boat.
  62. But also, I'd like to tell you some disadvantages.
  63. Disadvantageous disadvantage is about having geothermal energy.
  64. First of all, they are not very easily accessible to the public.
  65. Which could be a problem for
  66. forward forward fossil energy to go out.
  67. Another is this,
  68. they are pretty expensive to get installed
  69. at first before you, before you have your
  70. your house on top of
  71. the system, you would first have to have
  72. Um a $18,000 to $45,000 installation underneath your house
  73. before and then you build your house on top.
  74. Which can be pretty expensive. But if you have the materials and resources
  75. then go ahead.
  76. Also,
  77. geothermal plants are especially zone pacific and are
  78. required to maintain long distances from urban cities.
  79. People may wonder why.
  80. For some, for some such reasons for big power plants,
  81. that's why they need to be away from cities because
  82. because big geothermal power plants
  83. sometimes
  84. trigger surface accessibility,
  85. which causes earthquakes.
  86. So even though they do this, it's still that's
