Is your question Ocean tides? Tidal Waves? Well lets start with tides, tides is caused by gravational pull between two bodies this such as the moon and earth which cause a rise and fall in sea levels. Tidal waves on the other hand is a displacement of mass which causes energy. for example if you have an underwater land slid it displaces a volume of water inwhich creates a shock wave (energy). when this energy wave or displacement reaches shallow water the rise in water level will increase relulting in a tidal Wave.

What type of resources can tidal energy be put?
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Tidal energy is a renewable energy source.
Does tidal energy produce long-lived hazardous wastes?
No. Tidal energy is an inexhaustible form of hydroelectric power that uses only the energy from the changing of the tides to create energy instead of burning or consuming any form of energy source to create it. Thus, it produces no unsafe greenhouse gases or hazardous waste materials.

Which form of energy is difficult to store?
tidal energy solar energy
How can people get electricity from sea?
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. The first large-scale tidal power plant (the Rance Tidal Power Station) started operation in 1966.
What do barrier islands form as a result of?
Barrier islands form as the result of wave or tidal flow parallel to a coastline.
Why do the particles surrounding Saturn not form a moon or satellite?
The tidal forces from Saturn's gravity are to strong for the rings to form a moon.
Why is tidal energy a renewable form of energy?
Because tides are created every second.
