the guide question that follows.
Steam
Turbine
Drill
N ES Condenser
Tower
Guide Questions:
1. What are the parts of a geothermal power plant?
2. How is geothermal energy can be harvested from the powerplant?
3. Is harvesting energy from the volcanoes important? Explain your answer.
Answer
1. The parts of a geothermal power plant are a drill, steam turbine, condenser, tower, and pipes.
2. Geothermal energy is harvested from the power plant by drilling deep into the earth's crust to access hot water and steam. The steam is then used to power a turbine, which generates electricity.
3. Harvesting energy from volcanoes can be important as they are a source of geothermal energy. However, it is important to ensure that the harvesting process is done safely and does not cause harm to the environment or nearby communities.
