When it was formed millions years ago the earth 
was a liquid. It is s having the process of cooling 
and many miles below the hard crust is s hot. However, in some places the heat is closer to the crust. 
These places associated with volcanic activity or hot sulphur springs. Drilling deep ir the earth's 
crust we can reach rocks that are much warmer than those at t. surface. Pumping water down into 
contact with these rocks and extracting tl steam so produced is a source of energy that can be used to 
produi electricity. It is called geothermal energy. 
58.
