Question
How geothermal energy is converted to electric energy?
Answer
Geothermal energy is converted into electrical energy using a geothermal power plant. The process involves drilling deep wells into the Earth’s crust to access hot water and steam that is heated by the Earth’s geothermal heat. The hot water and steam are then used to drive turbines, which generate electricity. There are several types of geothermal power plants, including dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle power plants, each with different methods of capturing and utilizing geothermal energy to generate electricity.
