(a)
It is the energy stored below the earth surface
(a)
It is a water bearing stratum of permeable rock, gravel or sand.
(a)
It is a liquid dominated geothermal system, wherein hot water flow naturally under its own pressure or be pumped from the surface.
FLASHED-STEAM SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
BINARY CYCLE
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEMS
It is a liquid dominated geothermal system wherein hot water or brine from the underground reservoir circulates through a heat exchanger and is pumped back to the ground
FLASHED-STEAM SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
BINARY CYCLE
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEMS
It is a rarest form of geothermal energy but the most suitable for electricity generation and the most developed of all geothermal system.
FLASHED-STEAM SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
BINARY CYCLE
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEMS
It is a geothermal system in which there are compose hot rock but no underground water. They represent by far the largest geothermal resource available.
FLASHED-STEAM SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
BINARY CYCLE
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEMS
It utilizes geothermal energy that produces and delivers a flow of mechanical and electrical energy
(a)
It is defined as those resources that draw on the natural energy flows of the earth.
(a)
It is a jet of water and steam that spews from the ground.
(a)
It is found in geysers steam at concentration around 200 ppm. It is toxic, noxious and poses major air quality problems.
(a)
It is a steam vent in the underground where a jet of steam or water is ejected from below ground surface to above ground
(a)
It is a geothermal steam that originates from the magma.
MAGMATIC STEAM
METEORITIC STEAM
It is a geothermal steam which comes from the groundwater which is heated by the magma.
MAGMATIC STEAM
METEORITIC STEAM
What are the three basic kinds of geothermal sources
(a)
It is a geothermal system in which water is heated by contact with the hot rock
HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEM
LIQUID DOMINANT SYSTEM
GEOPRESSURED SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
It is a geothermal system in which water vaporized into steam that reaches the surface in a relatively dry condition. This is most suitable for use in the turboelectric power plant.
HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEM
LIQUID DOMINANT SYSTEM
GEOPRESSURED SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
It is a geothermal system in which the hot water is trapped underground. This is then tapped by wells and drilled. The hot water flows either naturally or is pumped.
HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEM
LIQUID DOMINANT SYSTEM
GEOPRESSURED SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
It is a geothermal system in which sources of water or brine has been heated due to contact with hot rock and is trapped in an underground aquifer at a depth of 8,000 to 30,000 ft.
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEM
HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM
LIQUID DOMINANT SYSTEM
GEOPRESSURED SYSTEM
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
It is a geothermal system in which water is heated by a magma relatively close to the earth’s surface. It represents by far the largest resource of geothermal energy of any type.
PETROTHERMAL SYSTEM
LIQUID DOMINANT SYSTEM
GEOPRESSURED SYSTEM
VAPOR DOMINATED SYSTEM
HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM
It is a major component of non-condensable gases contain in a steam or hot water from the underground
(a)
Another environmental problem caused by geothermal plants is _ . This occur because of the extraction of large quantities of underground fluids.
(a)
It is an energy which is transported from the interior of the earth in the form of steam or hot water
(a)
Give at least 3 reason why renewable energy resources are called renewable
Steam and water from the geothermal system contains, besides the dissolved solids in the water, _ , _and _
(a)
