What industries rely on hydroelectric energy?
Since hydroelectric energy supplies electricity, any industry that uses electricity from a hydroelectric plant relies on this energy.
Are fossil fuels burned in hydroelectric plants?
No. A hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn water turbines attached to electric generators.
What uses Hydroelectric power?
Hydroelectric power plants. They have dams and generators. Water flows through a dam, which spins generators that produce hydroelectric electricity. (Fun Fact: The Hoover Dam is the biggest hydroelectric power plant.)
What does a hydroelectric power plant use to turn the turbines which are connected to the generators that make electricity?
The turbines or Pelton wheels in a hydroelectric power plant are turned by water pressure.
When a hydropower plant uses the falling water to turn a turbine they are creating what type of energy?
Hydroelectricity--Hydroelectric energy
When a hydroelectric plant uses moving water to spin a device that generates electricity one form of energy is transformed into another?
Hydroelectric power is turning the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity
What are the differences between a coal power plant and a hydroelectric power plant?
Coal is used in furnaces to heat water in a boiler to superheated (above 100 degrees Celsius) temperatures, and this steam is used to drive a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator. A hydroelectric plant uses the vertical fall of water to drive a water turbine which drives an alternator.
Canada has a number of hydroelectric plants what is a hydroelectric plants what does the prefix hydr or hydro mean?
Hydro means 'fluid' and Hydro-electric means electricity derived from devices driven by fluid. IE a hydro-electric power plant uses the power of water channeled from a dam to drive water turbines which in turn drive the generators that produce the electricity.
What state uses the most hydroelectric power?
Idaho. 78% of their power comes from hydroelectric sources.
What is the telephone area code for Iligan City in the Philippines?
The area code for Iligan City is 063. To make a call to Iligan using a land line, dial the area code 063 + telephone number.In international format, the area code is +63 63. (The Philippines is telephone country code +63, and you drop the trunk prefix 0 from the domestic area code.)(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
What are the bad uses about hydroelectric power?
there are no bad uses of hydro electricity and cant be
