Geothermal Energy: Concepts, Models and Development

Energy which determines the temperature of matter is called thermal energy. Geothermal energy is the thermal energy that is generated and stored inside the Earth. It is generated from the continual heat loss due to radioactive decay of materials. The high temperature and pressure in the Earth's interior causes some rocks to melt and solid mantle to behave plastically. Water from geothermal springs can be used for a variety of purposes such as bathing, heating and generating electricity. Geo...
