Geothermal Power

The video discusses geothermal energy, highlighting its source from the Earth's magma layers, which are hotter than the Sun's surface. It explains the challenges of accessing this energy, which is only feasible in areas with thin crusts or high volcanic activity. Iceland is showcased as a prime example of geothermal energy use, providing heating and electricity. Geothermal power stations are described, emphasizing their low carbon emissions. The video concludes with the potential of geothermal energy to meet future sustainable energy needs.
