==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Geothermal''' is an [[Energy Resource|energy resource]] that allows us to use the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy]] underground in [[Volcano|volcanic]] regions to heat or to power [[Electrical Appliance|electrical appliances]].

===About Geothermal===
: [[Geothermal]] is a [[Renewable Energy Resource|renewable energy resource]].
: [[Geothermal]] has [[energy]] in the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of [[rock]]s underneath the [[Earth]]'s surface.

===Power===
[[Geothermal]] can be used to provide hot water or generate electricity.

: 1. Cold water is pumped deep underground.
: 2. Water is heated as it passes through rocks underground.
: 3. Water turns to steam and passes down pipes to turn a turbine.
: 4. The turbine causes a generator to spin.
: 5. The generator makes an electrical current.
