Is geothermal energy and nuclear energy ...

Is geothermal energy and nuclear energy different in this respect ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, geothermal energy is obtained from steam generated in regions of hot spots due to geological changes. Nuclear energy is obtained by a process called nuclear fission and nuclear fusion of radioactive substances.
