Geothermal energy is energy contained beneath Earth’s crust. What is geothermal energy? Geothermal energy comes in the form of heat produced within the Earth. This internal heat drives powerful geological processes such as continental drifts and volcanic eruptions, but at the same time provides enormous amounts of renewable energy. How is geothermal energy produced? Hot springs, mud pots, steam vents, geysers are all natural outlets of geothermal energy.
