Which renewable energy source harness energy from the earth's internal heat ?
Answer: D
The source is geothermal power.
'Geo' means earth and 'thermal' means heat. Geothermal plants use steam or hot water from reservoirs heated by the earth's interior to drive turbines, and the same heat can be used directly for heating or through ground-source heat pumps.
Solar power comes from sunlight. Wind and hydropower are also driven ultimately by the sun, which sets up air movement and the water cycle. None of them draws on the earth's internal heat.
