 GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

What is geothermal energy?

GEO means EARTH
THERMOS means HEAT

{ The heat comes from the fission of radioactive material

naturally present in the rocks }

your name
 Rainwater seeping downward
through pores and crevices in the
crust to depths of a mile or more is
heated by THE MAGMA.

 The heated water may be stored at

depth in the form geothermal
reservoirs

 This energy resource comes on to

the surface as hot springs, geysers,
fume roles, and mud pots

 Wells over a mile deep can be drilled

into underground reservoirs to tap
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY and for use in
a variety of applications
your name
• The first geothermal power plant is established
in 1940 in italy a place called larderello

• The largest group of geothermal power plants in

the world is located at The Geysers, a geothermal
field in California, United States.

• The Philippines and Iceland are the only countries

to generate a significant percentage of their
electricity from geothermal sources;

 Uses of geothermal energy

Heat pumps
• Devices that take advantage of the relatively constant
temperature of the Earth’s interior, using it as a source
and sink of heat for both heating and cooling
District heating

ENVIRONMENT AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

• AS the GLOBAL WARMING is

burning issue of MODREN WORLD

• We can protect our EARTH by

making use of RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCES

• The GEOTHERMAL ENERGY is

CLEAN & EMISSIONLESS Energy
Resource ,we can protect our
EARTH from ENVIRONMENTAL

DEGRADATION
 PROS OF GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY
 A POSITIVE Impact on Wildlife and
Vegetation
 LESS Noise Pollution
 Almost Zero % emission of pollutants
 MORE EFFICIENT IN POWER
PRODUCTION

your name
 CONS OF GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY
• Extraction and Injection of
Geothermal Brines May
Contaminates Drinking Water
• Chance Of Finding Mercury at
reservoirs
• Leakage of GEOTHERMAL WASTE
cause a very BAD ODOUR

your name
 CONCLUSION
• AS abundant geothermal resources
throughout the world can provide an
environmentally friendly source of energy.
currently used at only a fraction of its
potential, geothermal energy can
substantially contribute to the energy needs
of the MODREN WORLD
• GEOTHERMAL IS THE ENERGY
SOURCE OF THE MODREN WORLD
