Geothermal Energy Practice Test

Geothermal energy can be harnessed in any region of the world and contribute substantially to the power grid.

Fuel consumption of geothermal plants is insignificant when compared to that of coal and natural gas plants.

While sustainable, geothermal plants do emit small quantities of carbon dioxide and some toxic gases, originally trapped in gas pockets deep below the surface.

Iceland has been able to utilize geothermal to meet over twenty-five percent of their energy demand, in large part because of the geothermal activity of the region.

Geothermal has proven cost-effective in remote communities where importing fuel is challenging and expensive.
