Ultimately the Sun!
The Sun heats water in lakes or over the surface of the oceans. This causes water to evaporate and go into the air and the heat from the sun causes this air to rise carrying the water with it- (it is the potential energy from the lifting of the water upwards that will become the hydroelectric energy).
Later the water condenses out of the air as rain and falls to the Earth. Some of this rain falls on high ground where it can be trapped by dams. The hydroelectric electricity is then extracted from this water as it moves through turbines under gravity to a lower height. However, the original energy came from the Sun.
What else can I help you with?
What are the benefits for hydroelectic energy?
the atmosphere less carbon in the air.
Is hydroelectic energy renewable or not?
Yes.Because biomass is made from organic matter
Is hydroelectic energy accepted by the society?
Most people like hydroelectric energy because it is renewable. The cons to it are building dams, which can kill off wildlife.
Which three countries in Central Western Europe rely on hydroelectic power for most of their energy needs?
Switzerland, Austria, and Luxembourg
What is hydroelectic power?
idki
What are the uses of hydroelectic energy?
to generate electircity!!! ha. jus kidding i don't know cause im looking for the same question. angel Nicole
Is renewable resource or nonrenewable resources hydroelectic power?
Hydro-Electric Power is the most renewable Energy resource that we have; while Water Still Flows.
Where is hydropower harvested?
you get it from oceans or the hydroelectic plants will give it
How is hydro recovered?
you get it from oceans or the hydroelectic plants will give it
List of fuels?
chemical light sound geothermal kinetic gravitational potential energy elastic potential energy natural gas biomass nuclear hydroelectic tidal wave wind fossil fuels and lots more...................................................................................................................................................................................................................
What are some advantage and some disadvantage of using solar energy wind energy and hydroelectic enegry?
The advantage of using solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy is that these energy sources are environmentally friendly, and they do not run out. The disadvantage is that they are generally more expensive to implement than traditional sources of energy like oil and gas.
What energy is generated from running water?
Energy is actually not created. Hydel power plant converts the stored water's potential into Kinetic energy energy in the runneer & at last to electrical energy through Generator
