Geothermal energy - Poland & Tenerife
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. It is extracted through deep boreholes tapping into hot water or steam underground. Iceland generates over 90% of its home heating and electricity through geothermal energy. While geothermal potential is large, its use depends on specific geological conditions. Poland has begun developing geothermal energy projects like the Geotermia Podhalańska initiative providing heat to Zakopane hotels. Exploration is also underway on the Canary Islands like Tenerife to assess geothermal resource potential for sustainable energy development.
Geothermal energy in Poland and Tenerife
Poland has good conditions for geothermal energy, as 80% of the country has underground water temperatures between 30-130 degrees C. However, geothermal energy currently only provides 0.03% of Poland's primary energy and is only used in six locations. The advantages of geothermal include being environmentally friendly and providing constant energy regardless of weather. The disadvantages are its low availability across the country, potential for pollution, and high upfront costs. Tenerife and Lanzarote are two Canary Islands well-suited for geothermal energy due to ideal underground conditions, though no plants currently operate there.

conventional and non conventional source of energy
This document discusses conventional and non-conventional sources of energy. Conventional sources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which are widely used but cause pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Non-conventional or alternative energy sources mentioned are solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, and nuclear energy. These sources have lower carbon emissions than fossil fuels but nuclear energy requires proper implementation to avoid hazards from leakage. Going forward, countries will need to focus more on renewable alternative energy sources.
Energy
Energy is the ability to do work and comes in two forms: kinetic energy from motion and potential energy stored and ready to be released. Food and fuel energies ultimately come from the sun, while electrical energy is often generated by burning fuels like coal. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydroelectric are replenished naturally, while nonrenewable fossil fuels like coal and nuclear energy are finite resources that take a long time to form.

Geothermal power plants are located mostly in the western US, Alaska, and Hawaii, with California generating the most. Heat comes from underground water or steam reservoirs. There are three main types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle plants that use lower temperature resources. Geothermal energy has advantages of being renewable, causing low emissions, and providing baseload power. Disadvantages include being location-restricted, potentially triggering earthquakes, and having high

SPIDERS -DIDACTIC MATERIALS ON BIOLOGY LESSONS
Spiders are predators that feed on insects and small animals. While some spiders are poisonous, only a few species are actually harmful to humans. Spiders have different hunting methods - tarantulas weave silk fibers to catch prey, while others are good at jumping or reacting quickly. Venomous spiders inject venom to paralyze or begin digesting their prey, though not all spider venom is dangerous to humans. Exotic and venomous spiders tend to have more complex webs that help protect them and aid survival.

Geothermal energy
- 2. Whatisthis? Geothermal energy is literally heat from the earth. It is produced by the release of radioactive elements in the soil of the earth. In some places, the heat is concentrated close enough to deep water or surface water, and there is enough of it to warm it up.
- 3. GeothermalenergyinPoland Poland has very good geothermal conditions, as 80% of the country's area is covered by 3 geothermal provinces: Central European, Pre- Carpathian andCarpathian.The water temperature for these areas ranges from 30–130 ° C (and locally even 200 ° C), and the depth of occurrence in sedimentary rocks ranges from 1 to 10 km. In this country, more than 90% of the energy used for heating comes from geothermal energy
- 4. Use Geothermal energy can be used by individual households. Usually in this context it is referred to the so- called shallow geothermal energy, which is based on the use of the above-mentioned heat pumps. Home geothermal heating works with traditional installations such as radiators or floor systems.This method of heating is very efficient and effective, and the underground installation is characterized by low operating costs. It should be noted, however, that the initial expenses are quite high - they start from tens of thousands of zlotys
- 5. no emission of harmful substances to the atmosphere and renewable. Its generation does not adversely affect the climate or the environment. It is independent of weather conditions and its power is evenly distributed throughout the year. It is easier to predict how much energy will be obtained because there are no additional factors determining its efficiency.This is the advantage of geothermal energy over renewable energy sources such as the sun or wind. Low operating costs Benefits
- 6. its use is not possible in every area. Firstly, not everywhere are equally effective sources (i.e. those with an appropriate temperature). Secondly, even if they are somewhere below the surface, sometimes it is so deeply embedded that it is not profitable to mine it. High cost Hazardous gases and minerals may be released during extraction Technical problems in the maintenance of equipment Disadvantages
- 7. Currently, the largest islandTenerife is already generating about 42% of its electricity from wind power. Primary evidence of the geothermal potential which exists comes from an underground hydrothermal system in the subsoil of Tenerife with a temperature of 275°C. GeothermalenergyinTenerife
