The diagram below shows how geothermal energy is used to produces electricity. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given diagram illustrates the various stages involved in using cold

water

for electricity production.

Overall

, it can be seen that a total of 5 stages are involved, starting with the use of cold

water

, followed by the use of an injection well, a production well, a condenser, and

finally

a generator and a

turbine

. The first step of the process involves the pumping of cold

water

into an injection well, located at a depth of 4.5 kilometres. The

water

then

flows through the geothermal zone, where it comes into contact with hot rocks. In the following stage, the hot

water

is pumped up and directed towards the condenser. In the subsequent stage, it converts to steam which is transferred into the

turbine

. The generated steam is

then

guided into a

turbine

.

As a result

, mechanical energy is obtained from the steam.

This

mechanical energy is

further

converted into electrical energy in the next step. The

turbine

powers a generator.

Finally

, the electricity generated is transmitted through electric towers.
