Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot to cold or cold to hot.

Respuesta :

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.
