How geothermal energy works?

Extraction

• Geothermal springs for power plants. The most common way of capturing the energy from geothermal sources is to tap into naturally occurring "hydrothermal convection" systems where cooler water gets into Earth's crust then is heated up, and then comes to the surface.

• Ground-source heat pumps. Another way to tap geothermal energy is by using geothermal heat pumps to provide heat and cooling to buildings.
