renewable source of energy from the internal heat in the core of the earth; examples: hot springs, steam, volcano
literally, heat from the earth; energy obtained from the hot areas under the surface of the earth.
Refers to the naturally hot interior of Earth. The heat is maintained by naturally occurring nuclear reactions in Earth¡¦s interior.
Energy (heat) originating from deep within the Earth.
Pertaining to the heat of the interior of Earth.
Pertains to the heat of the Earth's interior.
An electric generating station in which steam tapped from the earth drives a turbine-generator, generating electricity.
Of or relating to the internal heat of the earth.
Geothermal energy is energy that you get from the ground. This can be used for either heat energy or electrical energy.
heat from the earth grid the network of electric power supply lines
heat produced by the interior processes of the Earth
Extracting heat from hot underground rock by circulating water through human-made fractures in the rock has the potential of providing geothermal energy.
of or relating to the heat in the interior of the earth
Relating to the Earth's internal heat; commonly applied to springs or vents discharging hot water or steam.
Relating to the heat in the earth's interior and the use of steam formed when water comes in contact with this heat.
Relating to heat energy derived from the earth.
Geothermal energy involves the use of different grades of thermal energy stored within the earth.
relating to heat from within the earth, here used to describe a source of energy
Power generated from heat energy derived from hot rock, hot water or steam below the earth's surface.
Pertaining to heat energy extracted from reservoirs in the earth's interior, as in the use of geysers, molten rock and steam spouts.
Heat from the earth. Customarily applied to energy from geysers and hot springs (which is now better characterized as hydro-geothermal), in recent years, this term is applied to any heat stored in earth and available as a renewable energy resource.
Heat energy extracted from reservoirs in the earth's interior, as is the use of geysers, molten rock and steam spouts. Geothermal Power Geothermal energy is generated by utilizing steam that lies below the surface of the earth in certain locations to generate electricity. Geothermal plants emit little air pollution and can have minimal impacts on the environment.
Geo (Earth) thermal (heat). Process in which the earth's energy is converted into heat and/or cooling energy. Commonly achieved via a "geothermal heat pump system," which consists of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building, a heat exchanger, and ductwork into the building. In winter, heat from the relatively warmer ground goes through the heat exchanger into the house. In summer, hot air from the house is pulled through the heat exchanger into the relatively cooler ground. Heat removed during the summer can be used as no-cost energy to heat water.
the word geothermal is formed from the Greek words geo, meaning "earth" and thermo, meaning "heat"; heat energy from within Earth is called geothermal energy and can be used to generate power
referring to the heat from the earth's interior.
Geothermal (or Ground Source) heat pump systems rely on the Earth's constant temperature to heat and cool buildings. Through the use of a ground coupling system, a conventional water source heat pump design is transformed to a unique means of utilizing thermodynamic properties of earth and groundwater for efficient operation throughout the year in most climates. In essence, the ground (or groundwater) serves as a heat source during winter operation and a heat sink for summer cooling. They operate very efficiently because the temperature underground stays at about 57°F (14°C). Many varieties in design are available, so the technology can be adapted to almost any site.
Energy from the earth, derived as heat.
Relating to the internal heat of the earth. In energy language, the term is used most frequently to describe the energy systems that revolve around using steam generated from inside the earth to generate electricity, also referred to geothermal power. http://www.geothermal.org/what.html
Pertaining to heat within the Earth.
Pertaining to temperatures in the earth, ground, or crust of the earth
Refers to heat energy originating from within the Earth
The generation of hot water or steam by hot rocks in the earthâ€(tm)s interior. Of or relating to the earth's interior heat.
of or relating to the heat of the earth's interior
In geology, geothermal refers to heat sources within the planet. Strictly speaking, geo-thermal necessarily refers to the Earth but the concept may be applied to other planets.
