Greta Jennings · Answer 1

Geothermal energy is produced in geothermal power plants that use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface. Because its source is the almost unlimited amount of heat generated by the Earth's core geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy. Solar energy is the energy of the sun that is converted into electricity and it is also a renewable source. On the other hand, the nuclear energy is produced as a result of nuclear reactions and is not renewable. So, nucelar energy differ from geothermal and solar beacuse geothermal and solar are renewable, and nuclear is not.
