To begin
with, cold Linking Words
water
is pumped down through an injection well to a depth of approximately 4.5 kilometres below the Earth’s surface. Here, it enters a geothermal zone where the surrounding hot rocks transfer heat to the Use synonyms
water
. Use synonyms
This
stage is essential, as it allows thermal Linking Words
energy
from underground to be absorbed efficiently. Once the Use synonyms
water
has been heated underground, it is brought to the surface via the production well. After being heated, the Use synonyms
water
has become hot enough to be transformed into Use synonyms
steam
. The Use synonyms
steam
is Use synonyms
then
channelled through a system of pipes in order to rotate a turbine, effectively converting thermal Linking Words
energy
into mechanical Use synonyms
energy
.
The motion of the turbine Use synonyms
subsequently
powers a generator, which produces electricity. Linking Words
This
stage marks the critical transition from mechanical movement to electrical output, making it the core function of the entire system.
In the final stage, the Linking Words
steam
flows into a condenser, where it is cooled and converted back into Use synonyms
water
. After becoming liquid again, the Use synonyms
water
is reinjected into the ground, enabling the process to repeat. Use synonyms
This
engineered cycle not only supports continuous electricity generation but Linking Words
also
limits environmental impact by recycling resources without generating harmful emissions or waste.Linking Words
