Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years in some countries for cooking and heating. It is simply power derived from the Earth’s internal heat.This thermal energy is contained in the rock and fluids beneath Earth’s crust. It can be found from shallow ground to several miles below the surface‚ and even farther down to the extremely hot molten rock called magma. These underground reservoirs of steam and hot water can be tapped to generate electricity or to heat and cool buildings directly

are two primary methods for generating electricity from water. One method uses the energy potential of trapped water in dams in a more sophisticated version of the water wheel‚ and the other method of generating electricity is to capture energy from ocean waves. Electricity generated from water is entirely renewable‚ sinccete water is an abundant natural resource First method:When a dam is used to generate energy‚ tunnels are installed in the dam when it is built. These tunnels are lined with turbines
