Why is the gorges dam in china being built?
The dam is being built for the same reason Hoover Dam was built; to use hydroelectric power to make electricity.
Hoover Dam in Nevada is an example of the use of what type of resource?
yes
How do you transfer water into energy?
By the use of what's called Hydroelectric power. Often the power is gathered from turbines in dams due to the motion the water creates when rushing through a dam. One of the most famous examples in the world is the Hoover Dam.
Why was the Hoover Dam invented?
to store and use nature's water, and to prevent a flow of liquid.
What 2 states are connected by the Hoover Dam?
Hoover Dam is on the border between Arizona and Nevada.The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona and California.It is also near Utah, but I am not sure if close enough to qualify. See the map shown on the website [1] and use the map at website [2] as a reference for the states involved.
Does the Hoover Dam use solar energy?
No, it produces hydro-electric energy, though solar energy was used to get the water recycled from the oceans into the dam.
Is windmill power less damaging to the environment than hydroelectric power?
Yes it is: Hydroelectric power is usually derived from rerouting water and controlling its flow. One enormous example is the building and use of the great Hoover Dam. Making these changes is very disruptive to ecosystems, not only in the streams but in the entire surrounding areas. On the other hand, windmill power does not really disrupt the local ecosystems.
How much does Hoover Dam cost per kilowatt hour?
the avg pay between 4.7 cents to 14.6 cents per kwh depending on the time of day we use power.
What is sometimes build to control the flow of moving surface water?
Dam if I know. Sorry couldn't resist. It is a dam that crosses rivers to control the water flow. Dam's come in all sizes, shapes, and materials. One of the largest dams in the world is the Aswan dam that crosses the Nile River. It's a huge edifice made of cement and steel. Probably the smallest dams are the ones built by beavers. They use gnawed off branches and trees to block up small streams. Lots of man-made dams are built to provide hydro-electric power for the regional area. Hoover Dam in Nevada USA is such a dam. Others are built to provide flood control so that areas downstream don't get flooded out during heavy rainstorms for example. The Aswan Dam is both a flood control and power providing dam.
