Question
Given below are the steps to generate geothermal energy. Arrange the following in correct sequence:
- It is so hot that when it rises to the earth's surface, it turns into steam.
- Groundwater in such areas (where the geothermal gradient is high) absorbs heat from the rocks and becomes hot.
- This steam is used to drive turbines and generate electricity.
- Geothermal energy exists, because the earth grows progressively hotter with increasing depth.
