DEFINITION OF TERMS 1) Physics: Physics is the branch of science, which deals with the study of nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics includes heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism and the structure of atoms. The physics, attempts are made to measure the quantities with the best accuracy. Thus, Physics can also be defined as science of measurement. 2) Applied Physics Applied Physics is the application of the Physics to help human beings to solve their problem. Applied physics is a bridge or a connection between Physics and Engineering.

Describe the Environmental impact of a geothermal power plant and extraction. COURSE CONTENT General Introduction The utilization of energy from geothermal wells releases greenhouse gases trapped in the earth core such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ammonia. These emissions are lower than those associated with the use of fossil fuels for which the adoption of geothermal energy sources is considered to have the potential to mitigate global warming and have a favorable impact on the environment. While the environmental effect of geothermal energy generation may be favorable if compared to other sources of energy generation; however it is not insignificant and can cause substantial environmental and human heath deleterious effects. Data shows contamination of the Waikato River with hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, arsenic, and mercury at concentrations that had adverse but not calamitous effects.

The natural electromagnetic field contains a very wide spectrum of frequencies, including the very low frequencies that are useful in probing to depths of several tens of kilometres. These low frequencies are generated by ionospheric and magnetospheric currents that arise when plasma emitted from the sun interacts with the earth's magnetic field. These currents give rise to time-varying magnetic fields in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz downwards, which are termed ultra-low frequency pulsations (ULF). ULF in turn induce eddy currents in the earth, with the eddy current density being controlled by the local conductivity structure. 7.2 The self-potential method Self-potential or spontaneous polarization (SP in either cases) surveys are a form of electrical survey. When self-potential surveys are carried out, only the naturally existing voltage gradients in the earth are measured, and for this reason this section appears among the natural-source methods.

INTRODUCTION TO GEOTHERMAL ENERGY LEARNING OBJECTIVES After the lesson you should be able to; i).... more INTRODUCTION TO GEOTHERMAL ENERGY LEARNING OBJECTIVES After the lesson you should be able to; i). Explain the term Geothermal energy' ii). Describe the crust, mantle and core of the earth iii). Identify the geothermal fields. COURSE CONTENT Geothermal Energy Near the Earth's core, the temperature ranges about 5500 degree Celsius. This heat is basically the thermal energy stored inside the Earth's core and the Earth's crust acts like an insulator and keeps the heat trapped inside. This heat has been radiating from the Earth's core for billions of years that originated since the formation of the Earth. Earth's internal heat is thermal energy generated from radioactive decay and continual heat loss from Earth's formation This heat it is continuously regenerated by the decay of radioactive elements. The rate of this regeneration is so high and this makes the geothermal energy a renewable resource. The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of material This thermal energy is known as geothermal energy. (from geo = earth and thermal = heat). This energy is estimated to be one or two orders larger than all the energy recoverable from nuclear sources. The heat trapped inside the core is transferred to the surface by the following ways:

In the 21st century, everything related to communication utilizes technology to ‗send out' or disseminate information to a wider audience. Information can be ‗sent out' in many ways. The inventions of cellular phones, television and other electronic devices are important in enhancing communication. WHAT IS ICT? ICT is the technology required for information processing, in particular, the use of electronic computers, communication devices and software applications to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information from anywhere, anytime. INFORMATION Information refers to the knowledge obtained from reading, investigation, study or research. The tools to transmit information are the telephone, television and radio. We need information to make decisions and to predict the future.
