Geothermal energy works by using heat from earth to produce steam. There is no consumption of the heat source. Releasing the pressure causes the super-hot water to change into steam. The steam is then channeled to turn turbines and to generate electricity.
Some of the advantages of geothermal energy are that geothermal plants are very inexpensive to build and operate.. This type of heat produces no air pollution or radioactive hazards. Some of the disadvantages of geothermal energy are water deep in the earth carries many pollutants. When the water becomes steam, those pollutants remain behind.
