Offshore means to be away from the coast. For example: There are several oil-rigs working in the North Sea, just offshore from Aberdeen, Scotland.
rocks that are offshore. cheating on your homework I see

An offshore platform is a structure that is installed over as group of wells that was drilled by an offshore drilling rig. The function of the platform is to produce the oil from these wells. A platform can be mounted to the seabed or could be a floating type platform. Offshore drilling rigs are for drilling the wells and are mobile and moved from area to area. Onshore drilling rigs are mobile units too and are moved from pad to pad for drilling and exploration. After a well is drilled onshore, a wellhead is installed on the well. There is no need for a platform as this only economically viable in offshore applications. There have been cases where an offshore well was drilled from land into the sea, but operated from land. This can only be possible if the oil formation is not too far offshore.

Thanet Offshore Wind Farm has 100 x 3MW turbines.
mostly offshore
Tidal Energy can be conserved by using offshore turbines rather than underwater turbines.
The wind is stronger and more consistent.It does not use on shore real-estate.
yes it is
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
Yes because wind turbines are alternate energy sources
Anyone who looks at a wind atlas can see one obvious advantage of offshore wind turbines compared to any other location: there is more power in the wind offshore than just about anywhere else in the world. Another advantage to offshore wind turbines is that many of the places that use the most power -- large cities -- are relatively close to shoreline, and far away from other areas of high wind power potential -- the high mountain plateaus. One disadvantage of a floating offshore wind turbine is that there is the risk that bad weather may make it completely disappear, as happened to the Project Mustard Seed turbines. With land-based wind turbines, there is generally *something* left to salvage no matter how bad the weather gets. ... please fill in other advantages and disadvantages ...
Mechanical, civil, electrical, environmental and industrial engineers all work on offshore wind.

wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.
It's a collection of wind turbines that are placed out in the sea near the coast. Shallow seas like the North Sea are most suitable.
