How does hydropower help the environment?

Hydro power is made from energy of moving water and you can make electricity from that water.


Which energy flow uses the flow of moving water to generate electricity?

You question is meaningless but the use of moving water to generate electricity is called 'Hydroelectricity'.


Which energy source uses the flow of moving water to generate electricity?

electricity from water is called hydro - or hydroelectric power


What is turned by moving water to generate electricity?

Turbines


What is the energy of moving water converted to electricity?

Moving water can be converted to electricity through hydropower, where the kinetic energy of the moving water turns a turbine, which then generates electricity. This process harnesses the potential energy stored in the water as it flows downhill into mechanical energy (turbine rotation) and finally into electrical energy.


Electricity produced from the energy of moving water is called what?

Hydropower.


Water and what make electricity?

Water at a height, pipework and a hydroelectric generator make electricity.


What apparatus are needed to generate hydro-electricity?

Moving water (dams, rivers, tides) and turbines (like an electric motor in reverse) that will produce electricity when the moving water spins them round.


Why can moving water be used to produce electricity?

Moving water can be used to produce electricity through hydropower, where the kinetic energy of flowing water is converted into mechanical energy by a turbine connected to a generator. As the water flows over the turbine, it causes it to spin, which in turn generates electricity. This renewable energy source is sustainable and does not produce greenhouse gas emissions.


The energy of moving water converted to electricity is called?

Hydropower. It is a renewable energy source that harnesses the energy of moving water to generate electricity through the use of turbines.


When a hydroelectric plant uses moving water to spin a device that generates electricity one form of energy is transformed into another?

Hydroelectric power is turning the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity


True or false: energy from moving water can be converted into electricity?

True. Moving water, such as in rivers, can be used to turn turbines, which then generate electricity in a process known as hydroelectric power generation.
