Geothermal energy is derived from the sun. True or False?

Physics

GaryK [48]3 years ago

Geothermal energy is <u>heat energy that exists and is formed in the earth's crust</u> and Solar energy is <u>energy consisting of light and heat from the sun</u>. So it is FALSE

Further Explanation :  

The temperature under the earth's crust increases with increasing altitude. The temperature in the center of the earth is estimated at 5400 ° C. Geothermal energy comes from the tectonic activity on earth that has occurred since the planet was made. This heat also comes from the sun's heat absorbed by the surface of the earth. Besides this geothermal energy source addresses several phenomena:

  1. The decay of radioactive elements below the surface of the earth.
  2. The heat is released by heavy metals because it is attached to the center of the earth.
  3. Electromagnetic effects that are controlled by the earth's magnetic field.

This energy has been used to heat space from the air of Roman civilization but is now more popular for producing electrical energy. Around 10 Giga Watt geothermal power plants were installed worldwide in 2007 and accounted for around 0.3% of the world's total electricity. Geothermal energy is quite economical and environmentally friendly, but it is limited only to the tectonic border.

<span>So we want to know is it true or false that geothermal energy is derived from the Sun. Geothermal energy is heat energy that is stored in the Earth. Solar energy is energy that we get by collecting sunlight via solar collectors and turning it into electrical energy. So the answer is FALSE. </span>

What does it mean when it says a scientific question must be supportable
Shkiper50 [21]

A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable (can be tested by someone through an experiment or measurements), leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a hypothesis that can be shown to fail), etc.

Is it possible that a speed of 254 and a speed of 100 could be the same speed?
EastWind [94]
Not if both speeds are in the same units.

However, if the 254 is 'centimeters per time' and the 100 is 'inches per time',
then the speeds are equal.

Final velocity will be greater than initial velocity of an object is
Natali [406]

Answer:

accelerating

Explanation:

If we consider(v > u) Acceleration:

final velocity(v)= 14m/s

initial velocity(u)=10m/s

time taken(t)= 2 seconds

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t} =\frac{(14-10)}{2}=2m/s²

If we consider (v<u) Deceleration:

final velocity(v)= 3m/s

initial velocity(u)=9m/s

time taken(t)=2 seconds

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}=\frac{(3-9)}{2}= -3m/s²

An object is 1.0 cm tall and its erect image is 5.0 cm tall. what is the exact magnification?
ikadub [295]
The exact magnification of the objects is calculated by dividing the cinema. We calculate it by diving the erect image size by the object size. From the given above, we find the exact magnification by dividing 5.0 cm by 1.0 cm. Thus, the answer would be 5.
