The Sun's heat energy evaporates the oceans causing water vapour eventually to condense and fall as rain into mountain lakes.
The water in the high lakes has potential energy because it's high up, and it can be run down a chute so that it gathers speed and hits a set of turbine blades to drive a generator. That is a hydro power plant.
What else can I help you with?
Is fossil fuel used to produce hydroelectric power?
No, hydroelectric power is produced from the movement of water spinning a turbine. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce energy by burning.
Can gravity be used as a source of energy?
Absolutely. At hydroelectric stations, for example, the power of gravity is harnessed to produce electricity.
How is water tranformed into energy?
Water is used to produce energy by letting it flow. This form of energy is called hydroelectric power and is considered non-pollutant.
What is changing kinetic energy of water into electrical energy?
The process of changing kinetic energy of water into electrical energy is called hydroelectric power generation. It involves using the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water to turn turbines, which then drive generators to produce electricity. This renewable energy source is commonly used in hydroelectric power plants.
What types of energy are used at home?
Hydroelectric power (from a dam), nuclear energy, solar power and wind power generate electricity. Natural gas is used for heating. Solar (the sun) can produce heat and electricity.
What type of energy use at home?
Hydroelectric power (from a dam), nuclear energy, solar power and wind power generate electricity. Natural gas is used for heating. Solar (the sun) can produce heat and electricity.
Hydroelectric energy not be used?
this question does not make much sence but yes hydroecectric power is used lots in many different countries. Infact the world get 19% of its energy from hydroelectric power
What are four sources of energy and four non-sources?
Four sources of energy include solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, and fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and natural gas). Non-sources of energy are items that do not produce energy, such as water (when not harnessed for hydroelectric power), rocks, air (when not in motion), and plants (when not used for biomass energy).
What is hydroelectric force?
Though this term is never really used, it would probably refer to the momentum/potential energy of water. So the thing driving a generator in a hydroelectric dam would be the water's hydroelectric force.
What is Hydroelectric power?
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
Is hydroelectric a heating or a cooling resource?
Hydroelectric power is primarily a renewable energy resource used for electricity generation, not heating or cooling. It harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity, which can then be used for various applications, including heating and cooling systems. While hydroelectric plants themselves do not directly provide heating or cooling, the electricity they generate can power systems that do.
Which renewable energy is most widely used today?
hydroelectric power
