    The document summarizes geothermal energy as a renewable source of electricity. Geothermal power plants tap into hot water and steam from underground reservoirs heated by magma. Wells are drilled deep into areas near volcanoes to access these resources. The hot water and steam turn turbines that generate electricity. While geothermal energy provides a stable supply, the locations of power plants can be prone to earthquakes and some gases produced may impact the environment. Signs that a nearby volcano could erupt include earthquakes, changes in heat flow, and changes in gases from fumaroles.

    Introduction

    When there’s a volcano there is a magma, which is the hot molten rocks
    materials beneath the earth’s surface.

    Geothermal energy is the source of geothermal power plant that produce


    electrical energy.

    Geothermal energy has been used as a source of electricity in a different


    countries for thousands of years. In the Philippines our geothermal power
    plant are found in the following places: Bacon,-Sorsogon; Calacan,Laguna;
    Kidapawan; North Cotabato; Tiwi, Albay; Tongonan, Leyte.
    How Geothermal Energy Generated?

    To produce geothermal-generated electricity,


    wells, sometimes a mile (1.6 kilometers) deep or
    more, are drilled into underground reservoirs to
    tap steam and very hot water that drive turbines
    linked to electricity generators. The first
    geothermal generated electricity was produced in
    Larderello, Italy, in 1904.

    Since the geothermal energy main source is magma therefore


    there’s a gas such as hydrogen sulfide produced that might
    affect the environment and lives of living things as well.
