Which of the following best describes how this geothermal heat pump works?
A)the pressure of hot water from a deep well turns a turbine and generates electricity.
B)Steam separated from hot water pumped from underground turns a turbine and generates electricity.
C)water is transferred from a deep well to a coil exposed to solar radiation to heat the water sufficiently to generate steam, which turns a turbine and generates electricity
D)a pipe with heated oil is sent deep into Earth to initiate a volcanic eruption then is tapped so that the energy can be used to generate electricity.
E)water is transferred from a deep well into a hot water tank, which is kept at a constant temperature by combustion of natural gas.
