Iwill give 75 points and brainliest a specific location in america has closed down several fossil fuel units and set up geothermal plants. in your own words, explain how this would affect the environment of the location.

Affects of geothermal plants on the environment
                                Although geothermal plants have many advantages over other conventional fossil fuels units such as it is a renewable resource, but it has many affects as well on the environment. 

Forexample
                 Geothermal plants discharge approximately 6.5 times as much heat, 5.5 times as much water vapours, and 0.5 times as much sulfur per unit of power produces as would a coal plant.
                 They also release hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, arsenic, and mercury at a concentration that have an adverse but not calamitous effects.
ground subsidence is acknowledged as a potential problem.
                pollutant formation  may be independent of the power production rate.
               Effluent pathways may  change abruptly generating hazards that have not been anticipated.
               Pre-operational  testing and random bore holes contribute negatively to the overall impact.
             Waste water may be discharged at  temperatures high enough so that utilization of the waste heat becomes both practical and imperative. 

It would have a big affect because The environment around the area in Africa will be mined, drilled, or condemned. The area will be used as a resource reserve. The land around will either be damaged or conserved for further mining or sample taking.

Dear where is the map?

Yes they are correct good day
