Explain how water and wind can be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
How do you conserve wind energy?
Wind energy, or rather, electricity produced from wind energy, can be stored in batteries. It can also be used to pump water uphill. This water can then be used later when needed to generate electricity (hydro-electricity).
How can wind flowing water and tides be used to produce electricity?
They can all be used to spin turbines that will generate electricity.
What do wind turbines generate?
electricity.
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
Explain how water and wind can be harnessed to generate electricity?

How does renewable source provide energy?
Wind, water, solar and other renewable sources of power can all be harnessed to generate electricity.
What do some people today use wind power for?
Wind power is being harnessed to generate electricity used in homes, businesses, offices, factories and farms.
How is electricity harnessed?
It is NOT harnessed by getting zapped by lightning. It can be harnessed in a variety of ways. (i.e. wind, water, battery power.) Please and thank you, Adria xx
Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
What gives us electricity?
Power stations, which can either be coal, gas, nuclear powered. Green power such as wind, wave and solar power can also be harnessed to generate electricity.
What farm can be used to generate electricity?
a solar farm can be used to generate electricity. for example if you had a wind mill or water wheel.
How can wind and water can be used as a source of electricity?
Wind and water force can be used to turn turbines which in turn produce electricity. I'm not entirely sure how turbines work but I believe that the turning motion produces kinetic energy which can be harnessed as electricity.
What are the differences between hydroelectric energy and wind energy?
Hydroelectric energy uses water to turn large turbines in damns to generate electricity, while wind energy uses wind to turn wind turbines to generate electricity.
Name three sources that can generate electricity?
water wind fossil fuils
What is wind power?
Wind power is energy, initially from the sun, that influences our weather and climate. It has been harnessed for thousands of years for sailing boats, pumping water and grinding corn. It is now being harnessed by electricity turbines to produce clean, green, non-polluting electricity.
How do you conserve wind energy?
Wind energy, or rather, electricity produced from wind energy, can be stored in batteries. It can also be used to pump water uphill. This water can then be used later when needed to generate electricity (hydro-electricity).
