Geothermal energy comes from heat within the Earth. The heat originates from radioactive decay in the Earth's core and mantle. The Earth has layers including an inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. Temperatures increase from a few hundred degrees Fahrenheit at the crust to over 10,000 degrees F at the inner core. Geothermal resources include hydrothermal areas where hot water or steam is close to the Earth's surface, geopressured resources with both hot water and natural gas, hot dry rock where heat can be extracted without water or steam present, and magma resources near active volcanoes.
