Geothermal Energy Introduction The Geothermal is a clean and sustainable (renewable) energy. It has been estimated that the heat of the centre of the earth may reach 6000°C. It has been found that the increases one degree °C for 30-50 meters. The word geothermal is derived from Greek language where the first syllable “Geo” means “earth” and the second syllable “thermal” means “heat”. How it works The geothermal energy should be made useful through electrical generators. We are not free to dig
