Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The geothermal energy is defined as the renewable source of energy that is produced and trapped in the interior of the earth. This geothermal energy is about 25°C per km of depth.

The geothermal energy heats the water that are below the earth's surface and are released into the surface through the geysers and hot springs which are all a source of this geothermal energy. This heat energy can be collected and it can be used to generate electricity.

Thus, the above given statement is False.
