Geothermal energy The energy from the heat from the
earth’s crust
In some areas there are deposits of water in the earth’s
Crust.

Steps to a Geothermal Power Plant 1. Steam rises through a well 2. Steam drives turbines, which
generate electricity 3. leftover liquid water is pumped
back into the hot rock

Other interesting facts The US is the largest producer of
geothermal energy.
Although it is considered to be a renewable resource this resource must be managed carefully so it is not depleted.

Geothermal Heat Pumps More than 600,000 homes are heated
this way The heat from the ground is fairly
constant all year round, they are used to heat and cool homes.
