Why do you say that all energy resources depend on the sun?
you could say it because wind,wave,solar,hydroelectric do depend on the sun. but natural gas, tidal, geothermal don't. fossil fuels are coal, oil, natural gas.
Does hydroelectric power depend on the sun?
Indirectly, yes.You need the sun to evaporate water which falls as rain. That forms streams and then rivers. These are dammed and power generated by the forcing the water to drive turbines.
Does hydroelectric energy come from the sun?
Technically, hydroelectric energy ultimately comes from the sun. This is because the sun's energy heats up water, moving water through the water cycle. Hydroelectric energy is generated by harnessing the power created by the movement of this water.
What does hydroelectric power generation depend on?
flowing water to turn turbines
How is a hydroelectric power plant dependent upon the sun?
Hydropower is dependent on the sun because the sun makes the water cycle work. The sun evaporates water in the ocean and from other places and then it rains into rivers which in turn flow into the Hydroelectric dams. If the sun wasn't there the water cycle would stop.
Is hydroelectric power directly or indirectly caused by the sun?
my social studies teacher told me hydroelectric power comes from water. hydro = water
Is the sun the source of hydroelectric power?
Hydroelectric power is formed using water falling from a high pint to a low one through turbines. While the power is generated by using gravitational energy, this ultimately does come from the sun.
What is the difference between hydroelectric energy and solar energy?
Solar energy is generated using solar panels that face the sun and gather the energy. Hydroelectric energy is generated by rushing water. The intense pressure creates a large amount of energy. Basically, solar energy uses the sun, and hydroelectric energy uses water.
Which alternative energy sources are not affected by the sun?
Geothermal Hydroelectric PowerCoalWindHope this helps!
Which engery resource does not produce harmful waste of pollution?
Sun, wind (which is caused by the sun), and hydroelectric (Also a result of the Sun's activity) are a few that do not emit harmful wastes.
Could animals suurvive without sun?
No, because the plants depend on the sun, the animals depend on the plants, we depend on both the animals and the plants. Der.
Does hydroelectric power start with the sun?
Hydroelectric power does not necessarily start with the sun, because water pumped or carried up to a lake made by man (or woman) behind a dam will push that water through a turbine to turn a generator. This is not to say that the sun has nothing to do with rain water that yearly collects on the same lake.
