Geothermal is taken from heat being made by the insides of the earth, usually in the form of hot springs and steam. Think Yellowstone. Tidal is taken from the changing of high tide to low tide and vise versa. It's a formal of hydroelectricity. Both of these are very "green" ways of harvesting energy unlike coal burning.

Which alternative energy sources are not affected by the sun?
Geothermal energy and tidal energy are alternative energy sources that are not directly affected by sunlight. Geothermal energy harnesses heat from the earth's core, while tidal energy captures the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans to generate electricity.
What is the difference between geothermal energy and tidal energy?
Geo-thermal means heat energy from under the ground, usually brought up in the form of boiling water or steam. It is then uses to generate electricity.Tidal energy means catching the power of moving water between high and low tides and using that movement to produce electricity.The are both clean and green forms of energy and give off no carbon dioxide or other harmful byproducts.
Where does the energy for geothermal nuclear and tidal come from?
1. Geothermal - comes from the earth's internal heat. Opinions differ somewhat on where this comes from, but it seems to be accepted that this is partly heat left from the very hot rocks the earth was formed from, and partly from radioactivity deep in the earth. 2. Nuclear - comes from fission of nuclei of uranium and plutonium, which releases energy because mass is destroyed. 3. Tidal - comes from gravitational effects of the sun and moon on the oceans
What kind of energy does the Earth have?
The Earth has various forms of energy, including geothermal energy from its inner heat, tidal energy from gravitational forces, and solar energy from the Sun. Additionally, the Earth has kinetic energy from its rotation and potential energy from its position in space.
Examples of inexhaustible resource?
some inexhaustible resources are wind, water and the sun (solar power)
What Energy not ultimately derived from solar radiation is found in?
Geothermal energy, nuclear energy, and tidal energy are examples of energy sources not ultimately derived from solar radiation. Geothermal energy comes from heat within the Earth, nuclear energy from atomic reactions, and tidal energy from the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
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.
Which alternative energy sources are not affected by the sun?
Geothermal energy and tidal energy are alternative energy sources that are not directly affected by sunlight. Geothermal energy harnesses heat from the earth's core, while tidal energy captures the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans to generate electricity.
Name five renewable energy resources?
solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, tidal energy.
What are the non-conventional resources?
Wind, solar, tidal, waves, biomass, geothermal energy
What are the non conventional resources?
Wind, solar, tidal, waves, biomass, geothermal energy
What kind of energy source is the best to use for sustainability?
Wind /Hydroelectric/geothermal/tidal
What are the renewable energy types?
Hydroelectric/Tidal, Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Bioenergy/Biomass energy are all renewable.
Is geothermal energy an example of an alternative energy?
yes, along with many others (biomass, solar, tidal, wind)
What are some examples of renewable resourses?
wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal waves
Where does a geothermal get its energy?
Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth's interior. This heat originates from the original formation of the earth, radioactive decay and friction due to the tidal forces acting on the magma.
What are two types of energy that do not cause acid rain?
Wind, solar, nuclear, tidal, geothermal...
