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]]> 2022-09-26 03:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/EustinRanayGeothermal/225smmhh3xj5rdqj/wish/2312920018 apeustinbelloiiiranay https://padlet.com/EustinRanayGeothermal/225smmhh3xj5rdqj/wish/2312924838 Hot water is pumped from deep underground through a well under high pressure.]]> 2022-09-26 03:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/EustinRanayGeothermal/225smmhh3xj5rdqj/wish/2312924838 apeustinbelloiiiranay https://padlet.com/EustinRanayGeothermal/225smmhh3xj5rdqj/wish/2312925648 When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped, which causes the water to turn into steam.

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.
