geothermal power plants unlike other
power plants that rely on coal or other fossil fuels to create electricity for homes and businesses geothermal power plants use superheated fluids from the Earth's geothermal resources to generate electricity the natural heat of the earth create geothermal resources this heat comes from molten rock called magma located at the Earth's core deep below the geothermal resource over thousands of years rainwater seeps through cracks of the Earth's surface and collects in underground reservoirs the magma heats the water until it becomes a superheated fluid to reach the superheated fluid

Wells are drilled 1 or 2 miles deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface at a geothermal power plant. Because these are places where the Earth is particularly hot just below the surface, you're more likely to find one of these power plants near hot springs, geysers, or volcanic activity.

Hot water is pumped from deep underground through a well under high pressure.

# data[].attributes.body
When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped, which causes the water to turn into steam.

# data[].attributes.body
The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
The steam cools off in a cooling tower and condenses back to water. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.

1. Baseload energy is always present: Geothermal power plants generate electricity continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The power output of a geothermal power plant is highly predictable and stable, allowing for precise energy planning. Geothermal power plants are also an excellent way to meet baseload energy demand, which is the lowest level of demand on an electrical grid over a 24-hour period.

2. Geothermal energy can heat, cool, and generate electricity: Depending on the resource and technology used, geothermal energy can be used to heat and cool buildings via geothermal heat pumps, generate electricity via geothermal power plants, and heat structures via direct-use applications.  these applications will aid in geographically expanding geothermal energy use.
