Why is it that not all countries can benefit from geothermal energy?
not all countries have enough water
not all countries have volcanic activity
geothermal plants produce a lot of pollution
very few countries can afford to build geothermal plants
How do geothermal power stations work?
Cold water is heated up and the water power turbines under the water and turns it into electricity!
The hot water from inside the earth is pumped to produce steam to power turbines then creating electricity !
he hot water from inside the earth meets cold air and produces condensation which powers the turbines and turns it into electricity!
all of these
