Traditional geothermal power generation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Traditional geothermal power generation involves using water or steam heated by hot rocks near the surface, also known as geothermal reservoirs. This hot water or steam is used to drive turbines and generate electricity. Option A is incorrect as hot magma is found very deep within the earth's crust and is not accessible for power generation. Option B is partially correct as the heat released by the cooling earth contributes to the heat in these geothermal reservoirs, but it is not the main source. Option D is incorrect as geysers and hot springs are only one way that geothermal energy can be harnessed for power generation, but not the most widely used method.
