when the water is flowing over the the dam with high velocity, it acquires great kinetic energy, when this water is used to turn the turbines, this kinetic energy will be converted into electrical energy. so, when the water flows over the dam, hydroelectricity is produced.

Where is hydroelectricity produced?
Hydroelectric energy is produced by the force of falling water.
Is hydroelectric energy kinetic energy?
Potential energy, because the energy in this process is produced through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.
Is geothermal energy caused by falling water?
No, hydroelectric energy is caused by falling water.
What percentage of the world's electricity is produced by falling water?
20 percent of the world's electricity and 6 percent of its total energy.
What are the differences between tidal energy with the hydroelectric energy generated by a dam?
The same in principle, due to water falling under gravity. Hydro however is produced by a reservoir of water which depends on rainfall, whereas tidal is produced by tidal rise and fall, which is produced by gravitation between earth, moon, and sun
Falling water is an example of what energy?
mechanical energy
What is an explanation of how water makes electricity?
The hydroelectricity is produced by using the kinetic energy of falling water to drive turbines thus producing mechanical energy which is in turn converted to electrical energy.Dams are built across rivers for this.
Electricity produced by the kinetic energy of moving water?
Hydroelectricity is caused by falling water.
What drives hydro-electricity?
The power of falling water. The kinetic energy of the moving water is transformed into electrical energy by the spinning of turbines.
What kind of energy possessed water falling from a dam?
Kinetic energy
What is energy from ocean water?
The energy produced by the movement of ocean water is Tidal Energy
What Electricity produced by falling water 2 words?
Hydroelectric power
