EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Subsurface magma heats groundwater, creating steam and hot water. The hot, less dense water rises through fissures and cracks in the ground. When it reaches the surface, features such as geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, and mud pits are created.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanoes are the most famous natural display of geothermal energy on the planet. Extremely complex geological structures, they have been generated within the earth’s crust since the beginning of time by the rising – following eruptive activity – of molten rock mass, magma, formed below or inside the earth’s crust.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Hot Spring, also known as a geothermal spring is a naturally occurring spring of water that emerges due to heated groundwater. The heat produced is either through the magma within the Earth’s crust or through the movement of fault in the crust.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
