Books with title Harnessing Geothermal Energy

Strap in for a journey to the center of the Earthand watch out for volcanoes! Readers are in for a fiery ride as they explore geothermal energy and its technologies, both past and future. On the way, readers will take a dip in some of Mother Nature's personal hot tubs: Blue Lagoon hot spring in Iceland, the Qin Dynasty Pool, Yellowstone geysers, and more! Stunning photographs of these high-interest natural phenomena are sure to capture even reluctant readers' attention. Erupting with fun fact boxes that zoom in on details, this sizzling volume will be a popular addition to any science library.

Geothermal energy--energy from Earth's molten core--has been used for thousands of years for heating and bathing. Today, it is one of the least environmentally disruptive sources of power by which electricity is generated. In Geothermal Energy, readers will discover how this clean, safe energy is currently used and how scientists view its future development.

Our planet contains a great deal of heat under its surface. Scientists have learned how to tap into this heat and use it as an alternative energy source. This book brings students inside Earth for an up-close look at how geothermal energy is created, harnessed, and used to power our world. Early elementary science curriculum is made highly-accessible and fun through full-color photographs and images. An emphasis on STEM topics addressed in the Next Generation Science Standards makes this the perfect resource for students looking to learn more about the science and engineering behind geothermal energy.

Vast amounts of heat exist below the planet's surface. Geothermal Energyshows how scientists are tapping into this source of energy to heat homes and generate electricity. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Many people associate geothermal energy with watching dramatic geyser eruptions or relaxing in a steaming natural hot spring. However, heat from within the Earth can also be used to generate electricity and heat buildings. Readers learn about the past, present, and future of geothermal power through this informative book. Topics covered include how geothermal heat is created and brought up to Earth's surface, the surface features, such as lava flows, hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles, that are signs of it, and how geothermal heat pumps and geothermal power plants work. The need for renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy is addressed, as is the need to manage geothermal resources sustainably.

Kids will explore an exciting energy resource with Geothermal Energy. This book covers one of Earth's energy resources, including where it comes from, how we develop and use it, and how it helps power the world. Bright, full-page photos fill the books, while easy-to-read text introduces young readers to key STEM concepts. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Applied to STEM Concepts of Learning Principles. Sandcastle is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

The heat that comes from inside Earth is called geothermal energy. This clean energy source is used to heat or cool buildings and to make electricity. Readers will learn about this renewable energy source, how we do not pollute when we use it, and the future plans for using this geothermal energy on a wider level. Color photos, a geothermal energy timeline, and a glossary round out this title.
