Answer:

Geothermal

Step-by-step explanation:

Geothermal energy is the energy derived from the Earth's crust. There is continuous generation of heat by the Earth's core. This heat is generated by the radioactive decay of the core from when the Earth formed. This heat can be used to make steam and generate electricity. Majority of the geothermal activities can be seen near the tectonic plate boundaries.
