Explain how geothermal energy is harnessed to produce electricity.

(N/A) Geothermal energy is harnessed through the following steps:
$1$. Molten rocks from the deeper parts of the Earth's crust are pushed upwards and trapped in specific regions known as $hot \text{ } spots$.
$2$. Underground water that comes into contact with these $hot \text{ } spots$ gets heated and turns into high-pressure steam.
$3$. This steam is then routed through pipes to the surface, where it is used to rotate the turbines of an electric generator, thereby producing electricity.
