Detailed Solution

Geothermal energy can be used to produce electricity when the steam is taken out through pipes to run the turbine.
The name given to the heat energy obtained from the hot rocks inside the earth is known as Geothermal energy. As the name suggests, Geo means “earth”, and thermal means “heat”. It’s the energy generated from the hot rocks and stored in the earth.
The steam is produced when the sub-surface water comes in contact with hot spots, and this steam is taken out through pipes and passed through turbines to produce electricity.
