What is energy from ocean water?
The energy produced by the movement of ocean water is Tidal Energy
Hydroelectricity and tidal energy are similar because?
Hydroelectricity and tidal energy are similar because they are both sources of energy rely on water.
What energy is referred to when water flows due to gravitational forces?
tidal energy
Is the energy stored in tides is potential energy?
No. Tidal energy is kinetic; it's MOVING WATER.
Why are hydroelectricity and tidal energy similar?
they both rely on water
What does tidal energy have to do with gravity?
The gravity of the moon pulls the water of the oceans slightly towards it as the moon moves round the earth. This is what causes the tides. We can harness tidal energy when we place a turbine in a narrow channel where tidal water move swiftly.
What is the efficiency of a tidal power plant?
Water energy (kinetic energy) to mechanical energy to electrical energy!
What is a renewable energy source that uses water?
# Hydro-electricity (dams, rivers, tidal barrages, water wheels) # Tidal power # Wave power # Ocean Thermal energy (the difference in temperature between surface water and deep water)
Why is tidal energy not a useful energy resource everywhere?
Because their isn't much water in the desert.
Why is tidal Energy not useful energy resources everywhere?
Because their isn't much water in the desert.
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
Where is tidal energy obtained from?
Tidal power operates by damming the mouth of a river or other water source that leads into the ocean. When the tides come in (tides are created by the gravitational pull of the moon) the dam lets water flow through. At the peak of high tide the dam is closed until the peak of low tide. Then the dam is opened and turbines are powered by the water flowing out into the ocean due to the water level difference. To learn more about how tidal power works check the related link.
