Which consequence results when a geothermal power plant turbine experiences cavitation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced power output occurs because the liquid-vapor phase transitions cause the *formation and collapse of vapor bubbles*. This erosion degrades turbine blade surfaces, therefore, overall turbine efficiency drops significantly, rather than enhancing any other aspect.
