Fossil fuels are burned in different ways for different uses. Coal is our main source of electricity. Crude oil can be made into different things in a refinery. Oil can also be burnt for electricity. One day we will run out of this major utility and everything that we use it for along with it if we don't conserve this natural wonder We can get power from geothermal power plants.
Some people dig into the earth's crust and put big pipes in the earth at hot spots.
Magma under the earth's crust heats up water in underground rivers. The steam travels up the pipes and turns petals on a shaft in a generator. There are plans to expand The Geysers. Some geothermal power plant's electricity have to be transported great distances, so geothermal power plants can be very costly. We need to save and conserve all energy and electricity or someday we may run out of this important resource.
