How are wind power and hydroelectricity different?
Wind power refers to actually using the wind to create energy (think windmills). Hydro power refers to using currents and dams + turbines to generate energy.
What drawbacks does hydro power have?
Hydro Power is only available in areas with deep rivers and strong currents. Also, Hydro power often kills animals that are downstream of the power generation, often because fish get killed going through the turbines.
What powers winds ocean currents and the power cycle?
The sun
Is their a river dam?
There are many river dams, many are built to create hydro power.
How is hydro power works?
It gets its power from rushing water. But just because you live by an ocean doesn't mean its rushing water.
What the difference between ocean energy and hydro energy?
Ocean energy refers to various forms of renewable energy derived from the ocean, such as tidal, wave, and thermal energy. Hydro energy, on the other hand, specifically refers to energy generated from flowing water in rivers or dams. While both sources come from water, ocean energy harnesses the power of the ocean, while hydro energy focuses on rivers and dams.
What are 3 alternative sources of energy?
Solar power Takes energy from phtons emmitted from the sun. Hydro power Takes power from currents of water turning a turbine. Nuclear power Splits atoms to release energy
What is an energy source that is used to make electricity?
water power, coal, oil, nuclear power, solar, ocean currents ,wind power
What are the sources of hydro power project?

How do tides effect currents?
Tides directly impact the speed and direction of ocean currents. During high tide, water is pushed inland, creating incoming currents, while during low tide, water flows back towards the ocean, creating outgoing currents. The gravitational pull of the moon and sun drive the tidal cycle, which in turn influences the intensity and direction of ocean currents.
What types of energy can hydroelectric power produce?
Hydro-electric power (the power of moving water and gravity in dams, rivers, tides and ocean waves) produces electricity only.
How do you harvest hydro power?
