Countries with a large tidal range are best suited to make tidal energy. The tidal range is the difference between the high water level on a spring tide to the lowest water on a spring tide. In the Norther Hemisphere some of the greatest tidal ranges are in Canada. In England the Bristol channel has one of the greatest tidal ranges. Conversely the Mediterranean has a very small tidal range. This caused the Romans some problems when they invaded Britain as their ships were grounded when they returned to them.
The tide is caused by the the moon, sun and other planets pulling on the water. It is also effected by the wind. Strong wind can stack up water as it is blown in the same direction as the wind. In the Mediterranean it is difficult for the water to go anywhere as it is pretty much land locked but in somewhere like Bristol the water can move freely. The geography of the Bristol channel means that the prevailing wind pushes water up it too. On the biggest tide this creates a tidal wave called a bore which is large enough to surf on.

∙ 14y agoasAmerica Canada Brazil & Russia are big countries uses more energy for generation but the poor countries with population over optimum level needs more energy so they use tidal @wind energy which is just a little more present in Wald's because of this India is the leading country in Asia as well as in world using more Tidal energy

What places can use wave power?
wave energy as in tidal energy? because it is being used! in France and planned for the bay of fundy in canada. erosion does present a problem but theyre working on it. No, wave energy is different. Can be used where there are sufficient waves.
How do you use water wave energy?
energy
SHould you use Wave Energy?
Personally i think we should use wave energy because it well help the environment and it can be cheaper than the regular electricity and fossil fuel. SO I WOULD SAY YES TO WAVE ENERGY
Why would wave energy only be useful for some countries?
Not all countries have access to the ocean, or to large lakes.
Does a wave power station use renewable energy?
Yes, wave power is renewable.
What are the top countries using wave energy?
i only know three they are scotland, portugaland australia.
What type of energy salters duck use?
Its wave power
What countries use mechanical energy?
All people use mechanical energy.
What is a energy wave?
it is a wave that is formed by energy
Name the alternative sources of energy that Caribbean countries can use?
The main alternative source of energy that Caribbean countries is solar energy. Another alternative source of energy they could use is wind energy.
What countries consume the most energy?
USA and Canada are the worst of countries. They use the most energy on the planet!!
How are waves used?
You can use them with fishing or when your sailing. it will push your boat/fish round. Also, waves can be used to generate energy. This is a sustainable way to get energy, and is simply known as Wave Energy, or Wave Power.
