CLEAN : Kenya taps geothermal heat to boost power

The video discusses the thin crustal layer that allows steam to be easily generated for electricity. It highlights the reliability and cost-effectiveness of power plants in Kenya, which operate continuously and require maintenance only occasionally. The video also covers the cooling process and the extraction of non-condensable gases from the system.

What characteristic of the Earth's crust allows steam to be used for electricity generation?

• Its magnetic properties

• Its high temperature

• Its thin and permeable nature

• Its thick and dense nature

Why are geothermal plants considered reliable?

• They run continuously and only stop for maintenance

• They require no maintenance

• They depend on weather conditions

• They operate only during the day

Which country is mentioned as using geothermal energy as a low-cost power source?

• Japan

• Kenya

• United States

• Iceland

What is the purpose of extracting non-condensable gases in geothermal systems?

• To increase the temperature

• To maintain system efficiency

• To reduce water usage

• To enhance steam production

What role does water play in the cooling process of geothermal systems?

• It cools down the system

• It is used to generate electricity

• It is converted into steam

• It heats up the steam
