What else can I help you with?
Why is it necessary to hold the water back with a dam in order to produce electricity?
it forces the water to flow in the desired direction
What holds back water for hydroelectric power?
a dam A barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, the resulting reservoir being used in the generation of electricity
What is the definition of dam?
a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, the resulting reservoir being used in the generation of electricity or as a water supply.
What do dams provide?
Dams are put in place to hold back water. This is generally used to create a water reservoir, but can also sometimes be used as a form of flood control. Hydroelectric dams, like the Hoover Dam, hold back water to create water pressure, to push turbines that generate electricity. In the case of the Hoover Dam, which holds 9.2 trillion gallons of water, extremely massive amounts of water pressure are obtained, and the 17 turbines combined make 2.8GW of power, which is about as much as 3 nuclear power plants.
What is a structure built across the water to hold water back?
A dam is a structure built across the water to hold water back.
What is the difference between a dam and a levee?
Dam- a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level. used for electricity or water supply. Levee- a structure designed to prevent or control a flood
What the antonym of create?

Can electricity hold 440000 volts of electricity?

What are the uses of dams?
To hold back water
Does soil or water heat hold heat more effectively?
Electricity holds the most heats
Why are dams built on fast flowing rivers?
A river may be dammed to provide a reservoir for drinking water, or for producing electricity. A dam could also be built to regulate water flow, hold back water during drought, or slowly release water during heavy rain.
What are hydro dams?
They are dams that hold back water but also generate hydro electricity by using the force of gravity pushing the water down and through large generators in order to pass through the dam. Hence why theres usually water coming out the other side of them.
