What is better hydroelectric power plant or nuclear power plant?
hydroelctric
What is the two types of resouce?
Wind energy, Hydroelctric energy I really hope this helps!
Are there any ways that hydroelctric power might be bad for the environment?
The only thing that makes it 'bad' - is that the land upstream from the dam ends up flooded, which displaces native animals and invertebrates from their 'homes'. The dams can prevent fish from their normal migration
What towns in Canadian history grew because of mining forestry hydroelctric power and recreation. Besides Ohshwa waterloo and north bay?
Some other towns in Canadian history that grew due to mining, forestry, hydroelectric power, and recreation are Sudbury (mining), Thunder Bay (forestry), Niagara Falls (hydroelectric power), and Banff (recreation).
How does hydroelctric work?
Hydroelectricity, a way or producing Eco-friendly electricity, uses the gravitational potential energy of water, uses falling water to turn a turbine, like water falling from a tap that falls onto a turbine and turns it, the turbine then turns a generator which produces electricity.
What are the effects on the environment using hydroelctric energy?
* Depressing landmasses, thereby effectively raising sea levels (think teeter-totter). * Changing the balance between tectonic plates, since most rivers that are dammed are on / near fault lines. * Reducing minerals and nutients delivered to the ocean. * Reducing water, oxygen, and heat delivered to the ocean. * Driving accumulated toxins / minerals into underground aquifers. * Changes / destroy habitats that grow in / near rivers. * Reduces erosion. * Increases catastropic risk to communities downstream, while providing steadier water supply and power. * Limits migration of land animals to areas where the reservoir is not located.
What does a generator get its power from?
Every generator converts fuel to electricity. Common fuels are gasoline and diesel. Generators are turned by putting kinetic energy into them and they convert this to electrical energy. Not all generators run off fuels, some of you may have heard of wind tidal, hydroelctric, goethermal etc driven generators
