Tidal energy is captured by using turbines. When the tide comes in or out the moving water spins turbines that generate energy or electricity.

Are tides renewable energy?
Tides are renewable; even if we use the tides for energy, there will continue to be tides. They do not get used up.

Is the energy stored in tides potential energy?
No, the tides do not store energy. The energy to be 'harvested' from the tides is kinetic energy (movement energy).
What is causeing the rotation of the earthsto slow down?
Friction related to the tides. Since the energy that produces the tides comes from the Earth's rotation, it follows that whenever energy is lost in the tides, the Earth's rotation will slow down.Friction related to the tides.

What are 5 examples of renewable energy?
Wind Turbines Hydroelectric (water; with the use of a dam) Geothermal energy Ocean energy (tides) Solar energy
Tides have which energy into them?
Tides contain the kinetic energy of a body of water which is charged by the gravitic attraction between the moon and the oceans.
What source is tides energy?
Inexstible
What does tidal energy mean?
That refers to getting energy from the tides.
What is the definition for tidal energy?
Big propellers that look like windmills that use the tides of the water to create electricity.
Is tidal power sustainable?
Yes. Tidal energy is renewable The energy of the tides will not go away if we use their power to generate electricity. It is renewable in the sense that we cannot take away the source of the energy by using them (unlike fossil fuels, of which there is a limited supply. No matter what use we may make of the tides, we do not use them up. The tides will continue to ebb and flow, driven by gravitational forces.
What brings energy to ocean water?
tides
Can you harness energy from tsunami tides?
yes
