Is the heat from the earth’s core due to the slow decay of radioactive substances. This energy comes out to the surface through the tectonic plate boundaries and edges where most formation of volcanoes occurs
Geothermal energy
three main types of geothermal energy systems:
1) direct use and district heating 2) geothermal power plants and 3) geothermal heat pumps
Parts of a geothermal power plant
Production well ->Steam line -> turbine -> Generator -> transmission tower and cooling tower -> Injection well
The process of converting mechanical energy from running water to electrical energy
Hydroelectricity
two different types of a hydropower plant
Dam and Run of River
An artificial process by which saline water (generally sea water) is converted to fresh water.
