Many countries, including the U.S. , have found ways to tap volcanic heat to make electricity.

Volcanoes act like giant heat vents, raising magma closer to Earth ’s surface.

Scientists identify areas where magma is near the surface and drill deep wells down to the heated rocks and water.

The Earth constantly produces heat, so geothermal energy is a renewable resource.
