The diagram illustrates the process in which electricity is generated using geothermal energy.
Overall
, it can be seen that a total of 5 stages are involved in the whole procedure, interestingly starting with the use of cold water, followed by the use of an injection well, a production well, a condenser, and Linking Words
finally
a generator and a turbine.

Firstly
, the process is initiated by pumping down the cold water into the injection well 4.5 kilometres deep. It Linking Words

passes through the hot rocks (absorbing the heat) within the geothermal zone and travels towards the production well, which is the same height as the injection well. Here, the hot water gets pumped up to reach the inside of the condenser.
After being condensed into steam, it gets transferred into the turbine and acts as the power source to operate. Once the turbine starts functioning, it allows the generator to start working, resulting in the production of electricity which will be distributed through electric towers.Linking Words
