Geothermal Energy Resources
Geothermal energy resources are heat stored beneath the Earth's surface, originating from its core and radioactive decay within rocks. This heat can be harnessed by drilling wells to access hot water or steam, which then powers turbines to generate electricity or provides direct heating. It's a sustainable and reliable energy source because the Earth's internal heat is vast and consistent. Geothermal energy is used in areas with volcanic activity or geothermal hotspots, offering a clean alternative to fossil fuels with minimal environmental impact.
