1. Steps to generate electricity in a geothermal power plant 1.The hot water is being pumped 2. Where the hot water travels 3.Gaseous state of matter 4. Causes to rotate 5. Produces electricity 6.Transports to the different power lines 7. Excess steam condenses 8. Pumped back again to the underground.

2. geothermal resource pipelines steam turbine

3. generator transformer cooling station cold water

4. Wells are drilled deep into the earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface.

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

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

7. Cooling tower cools the steam and condenses it back to water.

8. The cooled water is pumped back into the earth to begin the process again.
