How it Works

• How it Works• Is when we dig pipes

underground deep enough to heat the water in the pipes and evaporates into steam

• Which we use to power a turbine to make electric and power homes

Advantages

• No fuel is need to make geothermal energy

• It does not cause any pollution

• It is 80% cheaper once its built than fossil fuels

• It doesn't take long to get started

Disadvantages

• Disadvantages of geothermal power are….• You may run out of steam• There isn’t many places where you can get it.

We chose geothermal power because…

• You need any fuel

• It doesn’t cause any pollution at all

• No one can see it

• All you need is hot rocks underground

summary

• It is when we dig down underground deer enough to heat the water in the pipes and evaporates in to steam.
