What products does Canada export?

Dear Everyone, Canada exports things such as: - hydroelecticity - wheat - canola - grains - zinc - uranium - gold - nickel - aluminum


Why does hydroelecticity matter?

Hydroelectricity is important because it is a renewable energy source that relies on flowing water to generate electricity. It helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, making it a more sustainable option for energy production. Additionally, hydroelectric power plants can provide a reliable source of electricity since water flow can be controlled to meet demand.


What is moving water energy?

A mass of moving water represents potential energy. Consider tidal flow.If the water is entrained behind a dam, then it may be converted into electrical energy - otherwise known as Hydro Energy or Hydroelecticity


How abundant is hydroelectric energy?

Hydroelecticity is very abundant and is considered a renewable resource because it will never run out. Many hydroelectic dams have be built in areas that aren't necessarily on a major river. But rivers have been diverted into man made reservoirs to create water pressure.


How does hydroelectricity create energy from water power?

Water flowing through a turbine which is connected to an electric generator converts the water power to electrical energy. Electrical energy generated this way is known as hydroelecticity to differentiate it from electrical energy generated by other means, such as wind power, solar power, fossil fuels or nuclear fuels.


Is the three gorges dam sustainable?

Well, there are many reasons as to why the Three Gorges Dam is and is not sustainable.Sustainable:Will hold up against floods- protecting precious agricultural land and peoples lives.Will protect the Yangtze river from landslides-stops sediment from blocking up the rivers path.Not sustainable:Will not hold out against typhoons (tornados or hurricanes in America)-they will just rip it up.Will not hold out against huge floods-giant floods will go over the top of the dam-letting water through and causing flooding on the land and increase water levels.


What is electrcity energy?

it is the pumping of water for energy. it is the pumping of water for energy.Hydroelectricity is electrical energy generated from mechanical energy, when water is released from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure (typically, a lake, river or reservoir) to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure.


Is Hydroelectricity a form of tidal power?

hydroelectric is not a type of tidal power. the speed of the water going down the tube starts a giant elastic band revolving. this then causes magnetism and starts a motor. so even though it is to do with water it is not the tide that is causing it but the water running down a hill in a tube.
