This is my IELTS question, and I have a few questions.
The diagram depicts the production of electricity from geothermal energy.
Overall, it is clear that this process is a linear one involving five steps. It starts with pumping cold water and ends with the generation of electricity.
To begin with, cold water in a container is pumped through a pipe that is 4.5 km long to an injection well. The water then passes through a geothermal zone, where there are hot rocks, before reaching the production well. After this occurs, the water, now hot, is pumped up to a condenser.
In the fourth step, the hot water, after being transferred to the condenser, is turned into steam, which then moves, through a pipe-like connection, to a turbine. This turbine is powered by steam, and when steam flows into it, it is activated. Afterwards, the turbine powers a generator, and this generator generates electricity by transmitting power to a tall structure with some projections. It is worth noting that the generator and turbine are housed in the same container.
1) Is it correct to call this a man-made process?
2) Can I say "pumping of cold water", or should it be "the pumping of cold water"?
3) Was the phrase "now hot" used grammatically?
4) Is correct to say "pipe-like connection"?
5) Were the words "activated" and "housed" used correctly?
