Why do scientists use models? A. To collect and record data through the scientific method B. To explain difficult concepts and show how things work C. To make conclusions based on experiments D. To observe small objects and make them look larger

The most correct option here is B

Explanation:

Models are usually used in science in order to proffer or explain difficult concepts of the real/actual "subject". The model to be used must have some level of similarity (usually high) with the actual subject. The use of model helps to explain how certain things work in the actual subject. Actual subjects are sometimes eventually used later after convincing experiments (showing "positive" results) must have been done on the model.

From the explanation above, it can be deduced that the correct option is B

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
