It uses water to power large turbines.

Geothermal power taps on the energy of natural steam from the earth's lithosphere.

Explanation:

The heat from deep in the the lithosphere heats up underground water into high-pressure steam trapped in within the rocks. Boreholes are sunk to tap on the potential energy of this high-pressure steam to turn large dynamo turbines that convert the steam energy into electricity.

The biggest advantage, moreover, is the fact that this method of electricity generation does not emit greenhouse emissions as compared to gas plants that burn hydrocarbons that release CO₂.

Where should clouds form and why
LiRa [457]

Answer:

When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, it's not able to hold all of the water vapor it once was. Air also can't hold as much water when air pressure drops. The vapor becomes small water droplets or ice crystals and a cloud is formed.

Explanation:

hope this helps.

Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.
