Geothermal energy:

Geothermal energy is primary. The primary energy is that all its energy sources are natural and unaltered.

It is renewable energy. This means that the energies are derived from natural sources and come to rest faster than they can be consumed.

Geothermal energy is alternative. Alternative energies come from natural resources and inexhaustible sources.

What is it and how it works:

Geothermal energy takes advantage of the steam from the hot water and heat from the magma that rises to the rocks, this uses it to generate electricity, it's a renewable and an alternative energy.

Advantages of geotermal energy:

It requires less maintenance.
Always available.
Double recycling.
It requires less space.
Less polluting.

Problems of geotermal energy:

Thermal pollution.
It can be exhausted.
It emits toxic gases.
Only in limited places.
Very expensive.

And here's a video in spanish that explains the geotermal energy:
