One way to generate geothermal energy is where heat from within the earth changes water into steam which turns steam turbines that generate electricity A. heat enegy B. mechanical energy C geothermal heat pumps D. geothermal power plant
The generation of geothermal energy works much like a steam engine, in which water is heated into vapor, which expands to induce mechanical motion in turbines. This mechanical energy can then be converted into electrical energy.
At a geothermal power plant, wells are drilled 1 or 2 miles deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface. You're most likely to find one of these power plants in an area that has a lot of hot springs, geysers, or volcanic activity, because these are places where the Earth is particularly hot just below the surface.
