Does tidal energy produce long-lived hazardous wastes?
No. Tidal energy is an inexhaustible form of hydroelectric power that uses only the energy from the changing of the tides to create energy instead of burning or consuming any form of energy source to create it. Thus, it produces no unsafe greenhouse gases or hazardous waste materials.
Who Uses Tidal Energy?
anyone who is using electricity. meaning stores, people, buildings, ect. afterall, tidal power is a source of electricity ran by spinning turbines underwater.
Is it true that tidal energy can be used only near an island where tides are very high and very low?
Tidal power comes in two flavours - tidal range, which uses the difference in height of the tide between high tide and low tide, and tidal stream, which uses the speed of the tidal water as it moves round the coast. Tidal stream power extraction is most often found near islands and headlands where the flow is funneled between landmasses. This accelerates the flow, giving areas of high energy that can be extracted. Most tidal stream devices are more suited to these areas of high energy, however companies such as Minesto are concentrating on areas of lower energy, which are far more common and widespread. So to answer your question - most devices need the high flows found near islands and headlands, but there are one or two that don't.
Where is tidal energy obtained from?
Tidal power operates by damming the mouth of a river or other water source that leads into the ocean. When the tides come in (tides are created by the gravitational pull of the moon) the dam lets water flow through. At the peak of high tide the dam is closed until the peak of low tide. Then the dam is opened and turbines are powered by the water flowing out into the ocean due to the water level difference. To learn more about how tidal power works check the related link.
Where is tidal power being used now?
France has the biggest tidal power plant on the face of the earth, unfortunately the only tidal plant in Europe. Tidal power uses energy in ocean movement (waves) to generate electricity. Tidal power, sometimes called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America.
Which region uses the most tidal energy?
Coastal areas uses most tidal energy. Tides are formed in the oceans.
What are the current uses of tidal energy?
Electricity
What is the money of Korea?
South Korea uses the Korean Won
Who uses Hangul North or South Korea?
Both North Korea and South Korea use Hangul. All the written characters are the same in both countries.
Does south Korea or north Korea only use han gul in ther writing?
you probably mean there, and North korea uses only han'gul while south korea mixed it with chinese
Does Korea use roman numerals?
South and North Korea uses Arabic Numeral. -I'm Korean.-
What are three ways tidal energy used?
Tidal Barrage - uses the potential energy from high tide to low tide. Tidal Electric Resevoir - similar thing but literally a big bath tub in the sea, water in, control the output at low tide. Marine current turbines - turbines undersea Tidal Fence 'Stingray' tidal generator
What type of energy is tidal power?
Renewable. It uses the movement of the oceans to generate electricity when it is used for power.
Does tidal energy produce long-lived hazardous wastes?
No. Tidal energy is an inexhaustible form of hydroelectric power that uses only the energy from the changing of the tides to create energy instead of burning or consuming any form of energy source to create it. Thus, it produces no unsafe greenhouse gases or hazardous waste materials.

Did south Korea envade north Korea?
No South Korea didn't envade North Korea. South and North splid up because of the alliance between North America and Russia was not good. North Korea is the one who attacks first all the time. We never started first. North Korea's ruler does not feed his citizens he uses the money for nuclear explosions.
What is South Korea's money?
I think you want to know about the standard of Korean money. Both North and South use Won(원) for standard, but the worth of the money is different.
