Yes, falling water can turn a turbine and generate electricity, as it does in hydro-electric dams.
Hydropower is the alternative energy resource that uses water to create energy. This renewable energy source captures the energy produced by falling or flowing water to generate electricity.
"Falling water" starts with getting water to a place that it can fall from. This is accomplished by evaporation (inputting solar energy), transportation of the water vapour (using wind caused by solar energy), condensation to form precipitation (heat energy removal), and he downward flow of the water (gravitational energy).
The sun is a renewable source of energy. Water is not a renewable source of energy. It is a renewable resource as long as the rain keeps on falling on the same place.
mechanical energy
Kinetic energy
Wind moving water and falling rock are examples of kinetic energy, which is the energy of movement.
Falling water is a form of kinetic energy as it possesses energy due to its motion. This energy can be harnessed to generate electricity through hydropower systems.
hydrotropotrism
The power of falling water. The kinetic energy of the moving water is transformed into electrical energy by the spinning of turbines.
Flow of water
The energy from water falling over a dam is primarily potential energy that is converted into kinetic energy as it flows through turbines to generate electricity.
No, geothermal energy is heat energy stored beneath the Earth's surface from the Earth's core. It is not caused by falling water. Geothermal energy is harnessed by tapping into hot water and steam reservoirs deep underground to generate electricity or provide heating.
