marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph GEOTHERMAL ENERGY ENERGY FROM THE VOLCANOES  Define the term Geothermal Energy Explain how geothermal energy from volcanoes can generate electricity. marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph OBJECTIVES Locate the Geothermal Power Plants in the Philippines. State the advantages and disadvantages of Geothermal Energy.  What is geothermal energy? How does the geothermal energy produce marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph electricity? QUESTIONS Where are the geothermal plants located here in the Philippines? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using geothermal energy? Have you ever been in a hot spring? marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph Have you ever wondered where the heat from the hot spring came from? marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph  ACTIVITY TIME! META-STRIPS The following are the processes involved marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph on how energy is transformed into electricity. Arrange the processes from the first step and answer the questions that follows. Select 1 representative to present your output. Key Questions: The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity. 1. What are the different processes Wells are drilled deep into the earth to pump involved in the steam or hot water to the surface. geothermal power marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph plant? How is energy transformed? Cooling tower cools the steam which condenses it back to water. 2. What made you conclude that it is the first process? The last The cooled water is pumped back into the process? earth to begin the process again. 3. Based on the video presented, what are When the water reaches the surface, the drop the importance of in pressure causes the water to turn into steam. geothermal energy?  marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph 14.4% from Geothermal Energy. The production of Geothermal Energy is cheaper.  marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph What is geothermal energy? marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph  marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph How does the geothermal energy generate electricity? It is where heat from marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph within the Earth changes water into the steam (water into the gas state), which turns steam turbines that generate electricity. marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph Where are the geothermal plants marycrisabao.deped.gov.ph located here in the Philippines?

According to the Department of Energy, 14.4% of the country’s total power generation is produced from geothermal energy. The production of electricity from geothermal energy is cheaper than the electricity production using natural gas, coal and hydropower.  The Earth is extremely hot from within. This heat from the Earth’s interior is a source of energy called geothermal energy. The heat of the Earth warms up water which is trapped in rock formations beneath its surface.  The Earth is extremely hot from within.
