Geo-thermal energy

Detailed explanation-1: -Geothermal energy is heat within the earth. The word geothermal comes from the Greek words geo (earth) and therme (heat). Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because heat is continuously produced inside the earth. People use geothermal heat for bathing, for heating buildings, and for generating electricity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Geothermal energy captures the heat beneath our feet by harnessing hot water or steam from the earth to power electricity-generating turbines. Its production requires no fossil fuels, and the water can be injected back into the ground for reuse.
Detailed explanation-3: -Geothermal energy is the thermal energy trapped inside the Earth. This heat sometimes breaks through to the surface of the Earth through volcanoes. When we use heat from the Earth to generate energy it’s called geothermal energy.
