Thermal Energy

Geothermal energy is a form of conversion of heat energy capturing and harnessing from within Earth for many uses. Within the Earth's atmosphere produces surface phenomena such as lava flows, geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, and pots of water. The heat is produced primarily through the radioactive decay of potassium, thorium, and uranium in Earth's crust and mantle, and also through friction generated along the margins of continental plates. Probably the most widely used set of applications involves using heated water directly from the ground without any specialized equipment. All direct-use applications use low-temperature geothermal resources, ranging from around 50°C to 150°C (122°F to 302°F). Such low temperature geothermal water and steam were used for heating single buildings. Moreover, many of the world's swimming pools, balneological (therapeutic) facilities at spas, greenhouses, and aquaculture ponds were heated with geothermal resources. Other direct uses of geothermal energy include cooking, industrial applications (such as drying fruit, vegetables, and timber), pasteurizing milk, and melting of snow on a large scale.
