Question

One of the first steps in harnessing geothermal energy is to drill a well into a geothermal reservoir. true or false

Answer 1

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Geothermal energy refers to the energy, which comes from the crust of the Earth. This form of energy is a cradle of heat. The generation of heat takes place by the Earth due to a gradual deterioration of radioactive substances found within the rocks in the region of the core. Correspondingly, the hot magma found in the mantle, heat up the water in the geosphere.  

The heat in the water is used as geothermal energy. There is a need to find out the source of geothermal energy in order to attain energy. For this, the drilling of the Earth's crust is done, that is, the initial step for obtaining the geothermal energy. Thus, the given statement is true.  

Answer 2

The statement “One of the first steps in harnessing geothermal energy is to drill a well into a geothermal reservoir.” Is true. The answer is letter A. The energy in the Earth’s crust comes from the formation of the planet and radioactive decay of materials.
