"Beneath Earth's surface is a boundless source of energy--geothermal energy. Heated by our planet's red-hot core, hot water and hot rock below the ground on which we walk already provides energy in many parts of the world, from Alaska to Hawaii. Discover the different forms geothermal energy, how people are harnessing and using this rich supply, and how it could be an important part of our energy future."--

This book looks at how geothermal power is utilized today and how it might be utilized in the future. Geothermal energy is produced by heat deep inside Earth, and we can use it to power machines, as well as to heat our homes, schools, and offices. How do we harness geothermal power? Will it ever run out? Can it provide us with the energy we need in our power-hungry world?

Defines geothermal energy and explains how it is made and used. Includes a simple experiment.

Learn about the sources, harnessing, and workings of geothermal energy, and what the future holds for this reliable renewable energy source.
