Geothermal Energy Utilization and Application as a Renewable Resource: A Review

Prof. Pritika Holey, Prof. Swati Nibhorkar

Abstract


The interior of earth contains in the form of natural steam and hot water is called as geothermal energy. Inside the earth heat is transferred from mantle to crust. The geothermal energy can be created by earth internal heat generated from radioactive crumble and constant heat loss from earth core. Core-mantle boundary temperature may reach over the high temperature and pressure causes solid mantle to behave plastically and melting of rock in the interior of earth which make the portion of mantle to convict upward as it is lighter than the surrounding rock. [1] Rock and water is heated in the crust sometimes up to 370o C. in this research paper we cited a different literature from various researchers and find out geothermal energy utilization and its application as renewable resource.
