  • Actually ocean thermal energy is being used in all the cold and icy places called Alaska and Antarctica because Ocean thermal is the difference between cold and warm waters. so that is important because when the water is warm it will melt and causes global warming.And the earth will be a flooded area and that is really dangerous.

Much of the thermal energy in the oceans comes from the sun. Some of the thermal energy in the oceans is geological and comes from within the earth. This is the same energy that drives volcanoes, geysers, and so on.

phytoplankton


What is an example of an energy resource that does not pollute the air with greenhouse gases?

Any of the sources of renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).


What alternative sources of energy can help meet your energy needs?

Any of the renewable energy sources (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) will help meet your energy needs. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are limited as well as polluting.

Is thermal energy caused by the ocean?

No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.


What are some renewable sources of energy besides solar wind and water?
