Geothermic is comprised of the words geo and thermic. Geo means earth and thermic means energy or heat. Therefore, geothermic gets energy from the Earth.

Answer:

The word "geothermic" is formed by the suffix "geo-" which means "earth" and thermic which means "caused by heat or temperature."

With this linguistic information, we can deduce that a geothermic power plant produces electricity by using the heat produced by the earth - the Earth's internal thermal energy.
