Background
Geothermal energy is the energy that can be harnessed using the heat that occurs naturally in the Earth. This heat can be found in volcanoes, hot springs, and geysers [1]. There are very high temperatures in the Earth’s crust that range from 225º F- 600º F [2]. When ground water is heated—either naturally or through a mechanism that pumps water through the hot areas—steam is produced. This steam can be captured and used to create electricity through a turbine system.
