Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy happens when magma heats up and heats up water. This type of energy producing process can only be used in some areas because it only happens in some areas. One of the major producers of geothermal energy is the area of the ring of fire. The main place it is used is around the Ring of Fire. The energy produced from it can be used for heating buildings. It has very little pollution that is extruded into the environment. Geothermal energy is one of the greenest ways to produce energy.

The process of making geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is created through pipes deep in the ground where the temperature is always 50 deg F. This is normally around six feet under ground. The pipes absorb heat from the ground. The ground is heated by magma which is present in volcanoes, fumaroles, hot springs, and geysers. When the pipes are full of hot steam it takes it up to the building heats the area and cools down to start the process again.
