3. Geothermal Energy
It is the energy which lies embedded within the earth
It present in terms of magma
It’s temperature ranges from 3000 to 4000c
This tremendous energy results in volcanoes and in the
spouting of hot spring
4. Types of geothermal resources
1] Dry steam fields
2] wet steam fields
3] hot water
4] geo-pressure fields
5] magma deposits
6] hot dry rocks
7] volcanoes
7. Advantages
• Inexhaustible energy
• Available all around the year
• Environment sustainable
• Cheaper in product cost
• No combustion of fuel
8. Disadvantages
• Poor overall efficiency
• Requirement of large areas of exploration
• Possibility of triggering of earthquakes
• Production of noise during drilling
• Causes air pollution by the liberation toxic
gases
9. Wind power
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into
a useful form, such as electricity, using wind
turbines
Electricity produced by wind power can also be a
renewable energy.
Wind energy is also affected by the following
factors.
• Density of the air
• Barometric pressure
• Humidity and temperature
• Altitude
wind power generators are also making its way
into the energy-producing industry. From small-
scale versions to the really big types, these new
innovations can not only help you save thousands
of in electricity bills, they also are much friendlier
for the environment.
