Question

$\text{Geothermal energy is feasible in regions that}$

• A. $\text{are near the sea}$
• B. $\text{have thermal plants}$
• C. $\text{have coal mines}$
• D. $\text{are over hotspots in the crust}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\text{are over hotspots in the crust}$

Geothermal power plants use underground thermal energy to generate electricity. These plants use steam which is naturally produced in the ground like hot spots in the crust, geysers etc., making it rotate turbines to produce energy. A high percentage of geothermal generation are from regions where there are high earthquake and volcanic activities.
