How do engineers use earths heat to create geothermal energy?
There are three main ways engineers use geothermal energy. 1.Direct heating systems-hot water is piped into buildings to provide heat. 2.Geothermal power plants0-use resourced from dry steam wells and hot water wells. wells one to two miles deep are dug and hot water and steam are piped to the surface. Steam or a liquid turned into steam, turn the turbines. 3.Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat from the ground or water into buildings in the winter and reverse in the summer.
