A clean renewable energy that uses the internal heat from earth to produce energy is called ____
A
Internal energy
B
Geoseismic energy
C
Geothermal energy
D
Warm energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Geothermal energy is the heat produced deep in the Earth’s core. Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource that can be harnessed for use as heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is heat that is generated within the Earth. (Geo means “earth, ” and thermal means “heat” in Greek.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Geothermal power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Geothermal energy is heat energy from the earth-Geo (earth) + thermal (heat). Geothermal resources are reservoirs of hot water that exist or are human made at varying temperatures and depths below the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Geothermal energy is heat derived below the earth’s surface which can be harnessed to generate clean, renewable energy. This vital, clean energy resource supplies renewable power around the clock and emits little or no greenhouse gases–all while requiring a small environmental footprint to develop.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s clean, offering energy that can be extracted without burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas, or oil. Using geothermal for electricity produces only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide of a natural gas power plant, and little-if any-nitrous oxide or sulfur dioxide.
