Geothermal energy is the energy drawn from the earth (geo) by way of the hot rocks that are found there. It is created as a result of the tremendous heating caused by the fission of radioactive elements in the earth's core.
Nobody has even gotten close to directly examining the interior of the Earth. So there is disagreement among geophysicists as to how heated the Earth's core is. However, the speed at which earthquake waves, sometimes known as "seismic waves," move can reveal a lot to scientists about the composition of the Earth.
It is thought that the Earth's core temperature ranges between 5,000 to 7,000 degrees Celsius. That is far colder than the sun's inside, yet roughly as heated as the sun's surface.

Answer:
ENDORHEIC BASINS
Inland sea is an example of this
<u>Basalt</u>
<em> </em><em>Formation</em> -basalt is (mineral) a hard igneous rock of varied mineral content formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface near an active volcano
<em> </em><em>Texture</em>- is fine grained so the individual minerals are not visible
<em> </em><em>Colour</em>- basalt being dark
<u>Rhyolite</u>
<em> Formation</em> -Rhyolite is a very fine-grained to glassy extrusive igneous rock. Formed in continental plates have volcanic eruptions.
<em> Texture</em>- very small than grains and are difficult to observe without using a hand lens.
<em> </em><em>Colour</em>- light in colour whether pink or grey
<u>Andesite</u>
<em> </em><u><em> </em></u><em>Formation</em>- Andesite is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms when the magma is rises up onto the surface and crystallized quickly
<em> </em><em>Texture</em>- higher than basalt and lower than rhyolite
<em> </em><em>Colour</em><em> -</em>- color is pale due to silica content
