Geothermal energy continually flows outward from within the earth. This heat energy comes mostly from the core, where temperature may reach 7000°C. The earth’s crust is 5 to 75 km thick, and the heat can be used as an energy source where it is available near the surface because there is a thin crust or a fracture zone.
