Answer:
even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough
Explanation:
The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.
Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.
Answer: For leverage and so the can be easily handled.
Explanation:
The direction of an arrow shows the direction of the force, and the length of the arrow indicates the amount, or size, of the force.
That depends on what you want to use them for.
As sources of light, they are somewhere around 15% - 20% efficient.
As heaters, they are somewhere around 80% - 85% efficient.
