- 695: Geothermal Energy
- GEOTHERMAL ENERGY By Sean Griffiths Physics 200 The human population is currently using up its fossil fuel supplies at staggering rates. Before long we will be forced to turn somewhere else for energy. There are many possibilities such as hydroelectric energy, nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy and geothermal energy to name a few. Each one ... and produced changing plate boundaries. When collisions between plates occur, the crust is pushed up sometimes forming ranges of mountains. This is the way that most Midoceanic ranges were formed. Continental plates sometimes move at rates of several centimeters per year. Currently the Atlantic ocean is growing and the Pacific ocean is shrinking due to continental plate movement. In Rome people first used geothermal resources to heat public bath houses that ... is suffocating from the chemicals, and particulates that are created in the production of electricity and other commercial industries, we have no choice but to change our ways.

Using geothermal resources for other purposes such as space heating can only help ...
