HOW DOES ICELAND UTILIZE VOLCANIC ACTIVITY TO ITS ADVANTAGE? Geothermal energy. The first reason why Iceland utilizes its volcanic activity to its advantage is by using geothermal energy. Geothermal energy production works by the radioactive decay f several types of rocks containing radioactive substances (such as uranium) releasing heat energy. In the volcanic areas in Iceland‚ the rocks heat the water so that it then rises to the surface (naturally) as hot water and steam. The steam can then
