The diagram gives information about how electricity is produced from geothermal energy.
Overall, the process of producing electricity involves five stages, beginning with the injection of cold water deep into the earth and culminating in the production of electricity via a turbine and generator. The main phases include the introduction of cold water into the geothermal zone, the extraction of heated water, the utilization of steam to power a turbine, and subsequent electricity generation.
Looking at the diagram in more detail, the process commences with cold water being pumped down to a depth of 4.5 kilometers. This injection of cold water into the geothermal zone allows it to be heated by the naturally occurring hot rocks located in this area.
The next step is when the heated water is extracted and channeled upwards. The resulting steam, generated by the hot water, is then directed towards a turbine. The force of the steam powers the turbine, which in turn drives a generator. Finally, the generator produces electricity, which is then distributed through the electricity grid.
