What is the difference between geothermal energy and tidal energy?

∙ 14y ago
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.

What are four examples of Renewable Resorces?
Solar Energy Tidal Power Geothermal Energy Wind Power
What energy source is renewable?
Renewable energy sources are Solar, wind, Geothermal, Tidal are prime energy sources
What are the differences between geothermal and tidal energy?
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.
What are some alternatives of using fossil fuels for energy?
Wind Energy,Hydro Power, Geothermal Energy, Solar Energy.
Examples of inexhaustible resource?
some inexhaustible resources are wind, water and the sun (solar power)
How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?
geothermal is the heat from the earth being used to produce electric power VS tidal use the movement of the oceans tides to produce electric power.
Name five renewable energy resources?
solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, tidal energy.
What are four examples of Renewable Resorces?
Solar Energy Tidal Power Geothermal Energy Wind Power
How is tidal energy effective?
Tidal energy can work in only certain locations. A tidal generating station must be in an area where the difference between high and low tides is very large. This means the tidal waters will have a great deal of 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 non conventional resources?
Wind, solar, tidal, waves, biomass, geothermal energy
Is geothermal energy an example of an alternative energy?
yes, along with many others (biomass, solar, tidal, wind)
What are the renewable energy types?
Hydroelectric/Tidal, Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Bioenergy/Biomass energy are all renewable.
Which energy source does not create pollution directly?
Mainly: Solar, wind, geothermal. and hydropower energies AND TIDAL ENERGY.
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.
