Geothermal Energy by Joey Phillips https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap Awesome Info about Geothermal Energy en-us 2016-10-26 19:35:48 UTC 2025-12-23 18:18:01 UTC hello@padlet.com What is Geothermal Energy? 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133464070 Geothermal Energy is energy obtained from the heat of the Earth. This can be found everywhere from deep inside wells, to dirt in your front yard]]> 2016-10-26 19:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133464070 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133466150 2016-10-26 19:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133466150 Renewable Or Non-Renewable? 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133467450 Geothermal energy is a renewable resource, because the source of heat coming from deep inside earth is almost unlimited.]]> 2016-10-26 19:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133467450 How is Geothermal Energy Used to Generate Electricity? 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133754300 First, the geothermal heat heats up water, that water turns into steam. The steam goes through a turbine, then it is turned to electricity with a generator]]> 2016-10-27 19:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133754300 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133756288 2016-10-27 19:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133756288 Where Are Geothermal Power Plants Located? 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133757498 The majority of the geothermal power plants are located off the coast of the Pacific ocean in a region called "The Ring of Fire". The geothermal plants in the United States are located in California and other western states]]> 2016-10-27 19:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133757498 How Long Will it Last? 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133759747 Though geothermal energy is no entirely renewable, it will last very long, it is expected to last 4.5 billion years. In perspective, the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. That is nearly 70 times as long as the dinosaurs have been extinct!]]> 2016-10-27 19:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/133759747 Advantages 21joephi https://padlet.com/21joephi/naf4s72gjhap/wish/134279236
