The Sun heats and evaporates water. Some of this water falls as rain and is collected behind dams. An amount of this water is released through passages in the dam and travels downhill and gains kinetic energy. The water then passes through a device such as a turbine which spins. Energy is extracted from this spinning and is used to make machines work, usually by generating electricity. Sometimes the energy is used directly as in a water wheel to run machines. So your answer is solar power, condensation to make rain, construction to build dams, engineering to develop turbines and water wheels, electrical engineering to transport electricity, and science to make everything work at the usage site.

What is the science behind the resource type of energy?
what is the science behind this resource/type of energy
How has science helped to solve electricity problems?
sollar energy, wind, atom,hydro,sea waves
What is the science behind a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is turned into heat and wind energy.
What type of energy does water behind a dam have?
Heat from the sun evaporates water. Uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind to blow clouds up into the mountains. Rain falls on the mountains and makes its way down the mountain into streams which fill the lake behind a dam.
What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
What is the science behind geothermal energy?

Where do you store hydro energy?
Hydro energy is stored as potential energy in the water build up behind the dams. When it becomes electrical energy it is not stored but fed into the grid to supply householders and factories.
What is the science behind breaks?
The science behind BRAKES is that you use friction to convert kinetic (moving) energy into heat energy to stop a vehicle.

What type of energy is potentail energy?
Potential energy is the state of matter in which it is not at rest, or at its lowest state. A charged battery has potential energy, as does the water behind an hydro dam.
How much is hydro?
what is hydro energy

What is the source of hydro power energy a model for school?
Hydro energy is energy made by water.
What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
What the difference between ocean energy and hydro energy?
The difference between ocean energy and hydro energy is that ocean energy collects kinetic energy from waves in the ocean, while hydro energy collects it from water coming down from dams
