Exploring Geological and Hydrometeorological Energy

Geological energy refers to the energy derived from geothermal sources, such as heat stored within the Earth's crust.

Hydrometeorological energy refers to the energy derived from water-related sources, such as hydroelectric power or wave energy.

An example of a geological energy source is a geothermal power plant that harnesses the heat from underground reservoirs of hot water or steam.
