The magma heats rocks, which heat water in pipes so it boils to produce steam. This steam rotates a turbine, which turns a generator. ### Advantages ![Advantages](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/1.5.2%20-%20Energy%20resources/recycle-29227_640-min.jpg) - Renewable. - Reliable. ### Disadvantages ![Disadvantages](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/1.5.2%20-%20Energy%20resources/geothermal-min.jpg) - It is most efficient in areas with volcanic activity close to the surface. - However, it is possible to create geothermal power plants in areas with no volcanic activity by fracturing hot rocks such as granite. ### United Downs Deep Geothermal Project ![United Downs Deep Geothermal Project](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2025-03/4467276c-4015-4fb7-8417-a3c5b32b83a3/f52dd4fa-6adb-46c6-9746-1d7ac01c1819.png) - The United Downs project is located near Redruth in Cornwall. - It is the UK’s first deep geothermal power plant. - Engineers drill deep wells into hot granite rocks. - Water is pumped down into the rocks, where it absorbs heat from the Earth’s natural geothermal energy. - The heated water or steam is then brought back to the surface. - The steam turns turbines, which generate electricity. The leftover hot water can also be used to heat homes and buildings nearby. ## Test yourself on Geothermal Energy - Which one of the following is a disadvantage of geothermal power? - Converting Geothermal Energy to Electrical Energy - How is electricity produced at the United Downs geothermal site?
