12-16  Arrange the following steps to generate electricity in a geothermal power plant in correct order.  Number the statement from 1 to 5.

_____ When the water reaches the surface, the drop in pressure causes the water to turn into steam.

_____ Wells  are  drilled  deep  into  the  Earth  to  pump  steam  or  hot  water  to  the surface

          _____ Cooling tower cools the steam which it condenses back to water.

_____ The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.

_____ The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.
