What is Geothermal?
 Four thousand miles beneath the earths surface, is double
layered! Under that, is MAGMA!!
 The Crust, Mantle, Outer core and Inner core, all have
Geothermal energy!!
 The crust is divided into plates, when they collide it forms
VOLCANOES!! Which gives out Geothermal Energy.

Renewable or not?
It is a renewable energy source,
because the water is restored by rainfall,
and the heat keeps going beneath the
earths surface!
We will NEVER run out!!
Where is it?
 The Earth’s core!! I know it is amazing!
 4,000 miles beneath the Earth’s surface you would find MAGMA!
 It is mostly in the North, in Iceland and in the west, such as
California, Nevada, Hawaii, Alaska, and Utah!
