Solution

Geo-thermal energy:

  • Geothermal energy is the heat energy in the Earth’s interiors.
  • Geothermal power supplies less than 1% of the world's energy.
  • It is a renewable energy source because the water is replenished by rainfall and the heat is continuously produced inside the earth.
  • It is generated in the earth 's core, about 4,000 miles below the surface.
  • Disadvantage:The sites from where geothermal energy comes out hot springs , hazardous gases or minerals may also come out with steam from the earth crust. Producing electricity through geothermal energy is a safe process but digging it out from the underground can be harmful for us.
  • Advantage:Electricity can be produced,It is renewable.
