GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Groundwater can be heated by a body of cooling magma or by penetrating deeply into the earth’s crust along faults and being heated by the increased geothermal gradient. Hot springs and geysers. Heated groundwater rises to the surface as hot springs and geysers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magma heats nearby rocks and underground aquifers. Hot water can be released through geysers, hot springs, steam vents, underwater hydrothermal vents, and mud pots. These are all sources of geothermal energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The molten rock (magma) in the Earth’s crust that drives volcanic eruptions can also provide heat for electricity generation. Geothermal energy is derived from heat within the Earth’s crust. The word geothermal comes from the Greek words geo (Earth) and therme (heat).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -For geothermal activity, you need to have large quantities of hot rock reasonably close to the surface. The type of volcano that meets this criteria is a caldera-forming volcano, often referred to as super volcanoes.
