Tidal energy is natural and is not harmful to the Earth. Scientists are currently studying ways to make use of tidal energy because of its many benefits.

Where the energy comes tidal energy?

Tidal energy is created by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans, causing tides to rise and fall. This movement of water generates kinetic energy that can be harnessed and converted into electricity using tidal energy technologies such as tidal turbines or barrages.


Where is Tidal Energy found on Earth?

There is a large tidal energy scheme at Rance in northern France. There are smaller ones in other parts of the world. Tidal mills were once fairly common in Britain. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon. These forces translate into high and low tides, on the earth. Tidal energy is transferred from the moon to the earth by tidal torque. This results in tidal lock. This is why you always see the same side of the moon

How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?

Geothermal energy is derived from heat within the Earth's crust, often through the use of geothermal power plants. Tidal energy, on the other hand, is harnessed from the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans, typically through tidal power turbines. Geothermal energy relies on heat from the Earth's interior, while tidal energy relies on the movement of water caused by gravitational forces.


What types of energy source not derive from the sun?

Tidal energy, heat from the interior of Earth, and nuclear energy.


Which two energy sources are not directly tied to solar energy?

Tidal energy, and the heat from the interior of Earth.


Is tidal energy kinetic or pontential?

Tidal energy can be considered a form of kinetic energy because it is derived from the movement of the tides, which is driven by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, moon, and sun.


Why do tidal nuclear and geothermal energy do not depend on the sun.?

Tidal energy comes from the energy of Earth's rotation. This is unrelated to the Sun's radiation. Nuclear energy comes from elements that are available on Earth - it doesn't depend on the Sun's radiation either. Geothermal energy comes from these same elements, which gradually decay, keeping Earth's interior hot.


Is tidal an example of renewable sources of energy?

This seems to be an answer to a homework assignment. Tidal forces are caused by the Moon's rotation around the Earth (thus warping the Earth's surface). When energy is produced by way of a dynamo, it may be referred to as either hydrodynamic energy or possibly in a classroom setting as tidal energy. It is technically considered a renewable source of energy due to its propensity to continue occurring daily.


Why do tidal nuclear and geothermal energy resources not depend on the sun?

Nuclear energy comes from elements that are available on Earth - it doesn't depend on the Sun's radiation either. Geothermal energy comes from these same elements, which gradually decay, keeping Earth's interior hot.


How long does tidal energy last?

Tidal energy is considered a renewable energy source because the gravitational forces of the moon and sun that create the tides are continuous and predictable. As long as the Earth has these celestial bodies and continues to rotate, tidal energy will persist.
