What is geothermal energy? The thermal energy which stored in Earth since thousand years ago are called as geothermal energy. This energy is taking out from the shallow ground of the earth surface which having the temperature of 50°F to 60°F, or even deeper down to the absolutely hot molten rock which we called it as magma. The principle of this energy system is simple and easy. The system using solar energy where the energy is transferred from and to the earth surface. For example, the temperature of the pipes will be more constant in deeper part of geothermal reservoir which dig by human thousands years ago, thus, when there’s water passing through the pump heater, the water will be heated. The water pump heater was invented by a professor …show more content…

Any significant changes will bring impacts to our economic as well as environment. Thus, the demand of renewable energy, where the energy can be reused again, is increasing with the growing of economic in our world today. Geothermal energy is one of the renewable energy which is much more sustainable, environment friendly compared to fossil fuels which brings harm to our environment and our health. Environment will become more healthier and cleaner if the geothermal energy is being implemented in each of the countries as this system does not pollute our environment with those acid gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. (Conserve Energy Future) Unlike solar energy and wind energy, geothermal energy can be used and applied every day, is a continuous source of energy and provides constant …show more content…

This cause most of the aquatic animal failed to sustain their lives or failed to grow normally due to the chemical imbalance in water(Water Policy International Ltd). Besides, acid rain causes the water to be more acidic and damage the forest and weaken the tree’s natural defenses. Acid rain had increased the amount of nitrogen in forest and this leads to the decreasing of nutrients such as calcium and magnesium in the forest. (EPA, United States Environmental Protection Agency). Thus, by using geothermal energy, it will not cause any effects of ecosystem as it does not cause acid rain like fossil
