Sagot :

Answer:

Power Plants are built in an area where it is particularly hot just below the surface such as a near group of geysers, hot springs, or volcanic activity. Arrange the following steps to generate electricity in a geothermal power plant :

1. The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity

2. When the water reaches the surface, the drop in pressure causes the water to turn into steam

3. Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface

4. Cooling tower cools the steam which it condenses back to water

5. The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again
