GEOTHERMAL Is the energy produced by heat from Earth's interior. Geothermal works by heating rock formations deep within the ground. Groundwater absorbs this heat and forms hot springs and geysers where the water reaches Earth's surface. Geothermal can be used to produce energy as heat and electricity, to warm buildings and cool buildings.Geothermal is good in some ways because it provides heat and electrical energy for us. Geothermal also has some disadvantages because it puts out pollution that occurs during production of the technology needed to capture it, and the technology is also expensive to make and maintain.

                                                                  Natural Gas Natural gas is formed by mixing hydrocarbon and gaseous and forms from old,decayed sea organisims. It is used to heast fuel and produce electricity. Some advantages are that we use it for vehicular devices(cars). We also use it for heating fuel, wich we use to power our cars. One disadvantage is that it creates a tremendindous amount of pollotuion.

Geo-thermal The water in the geyser above is heated by geothermal energy. It is energy produced by heat from rocks interior. Geothermal energy heats rock formations from deep within the ground.Groundwater absorbs this heat and forms hot springs and geysers where the water reaches Earth's surface. It is used for the air-conditioning which is very important. It will be used for billions of years. It takes a lot of energy to make it work so by the end of the process you end up not getting that much energy out of it. It takes a while to cool. 🗺🙏

Coal is a nonrenewable resource that is a solid compound of the remains of swamp plants. Coal can be used for many different things such as heating buildings and producing electricity. Coal is formed when plants near a swamp soak in heat energy from the sun and when they die and fall in the water. When they get buried and sit there from millions of years the plants get so pressureized where they release that heat from the sun to change chemically and physically. Once the coal gets extracted from the ground the coal is burned to create hot steam. This hot steam turns a turbine which powers the electric generator to the transformer to create electricity. 2 advantages are that coal is very abundant

                                              Natural Gas is formed by a mixture of Gaseous hydrocarbons                                                                        Advantages produces heat for car homes and heats up water.                                                      disadvantages its nonrenwable and creates polution.
