2. How does it work?
Energy is harnessed from the internal heat of different layers within the ground of the Earth in order to create energy.

3. Machinery & Processes Involved
Cold water is injected into the ground and heated by the internal heat of earths layers in order to recuperate the water in the form of steam through a spinning a turbine on the surface creating ENERGY.

4. The Energy Efficiency Ratio
Geothermal is much more efficient than energy created with fossil fuels and has a ratio of 3-4:1 when in comparison to most ordinary systems. :

5. Where The Resource Is Most Likely To Be Used:. . .

6. Problems That Geothermal Energy Faces: Can They Be Fixed?
Not a widespread source of energy
High installation costs
Can run out of steam
Can not be easily transported
- Many of these issues come with having to harness the energy from geological processes.

7. Geothermal Energy Vs. Traditional Fossil Feuls
PROS CONS
More Cost Effective
Cleaner a.k.a. less CO2, NO2 emissions
More Efficient
Runs more consistently
Can be used in more places
New technologies are being made
Limited Geographic availability of geothermal energy
Deeper drilling = more difficult and more expensive
Uses a lot of water
Open loop system setup vs. closed loop system setup
Transportation
