Model Answer:

The diagramillustrates the process by which geothermal energy is used in the production ofelectricity.

Overall, there arefive steps in the process, starting from pumping down cold water into thegeothermal zone, to producing electricity from the generator which is then sentinto the electrical grid.

In the first step,cold water is pumped down 4.5 km underground through the injection well. Next,the water is injected into the geothermal zone, where hot rocks heat the waterup as it passes through the Earth. Once the water has been heated up, it entersthe production well and is then pumped up to the ground and into the condenser.

The last two stagesare carried out above ground at the power plant. First of all, steam isproduced from the hot water in the condenser. In the following step, the steampasses into the turbine and makes it spin. Finally, the generator, which ispowered by the turbine, produces electricity where it is then transferred intothe electric grid via power lines.
