How is tidal energy?
it is caused by the shocks of an earthquake and the earthquake is caused by the movements of the plates at the bottom of the earth
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.
Witch tides have maximum tidal range?
Spring tides have a greater tidal range than neap tides.
Do any countries use tidal power if so what for?
The first tidal power station in the world was built in France, at La Rance, in 1966. It has a capacity of 240 MW (MegaWatts).The largest in the world is the 254 MW Sihwa Lake in South Korea (2011)The first in North America is in the Bay of Fundy, Canada (1984, 20 MW)Russia has a small tidal power station on the Barents Sea (2006, 1.6 MW)South Korea has stations to open in 2013 (90MW), 2017 (1320 MW), and three more all more than 100 MW each.Scotland is opening one in Islay in 2013 (10 MW)India begins construction in 2012 on a 50 MW tidal farm in the Gulf of Kutch.
Does Mercury have a tidal bulge?
Yes, Mercury has a tidal bulge because of Sun. The Sun gravitational force on Mercury's surface is more than 17 times than Moon forces Earth.
Is tidal power expensive to locate?
Tidal power is incredibly expensive, moreso than wind or solar
Is tidal energy an renewable energy source?
Yes, it sure is. And far more reliable than wind!
Are refurbished power supplies any less reliable than new ones?
Normally factory refurbished power supplies meet the same requirments as new ones.

Can a tidal turbine produce power on no moon day?
Yes, even if you cannot see the moon, it is still having tidal effect AND the sun also creates a tidal effect, weaker than the moon, but still there.
How much energy does tidal power produce?
more than wave also more preditable than saolar AND wind!
Can wind power be used for base load power?
No. Baseload power sources have to be as reliable as possible. Wind has a capacity factor (actually electric production/nameplate potential) less than 1/3rd of nuclear/fossil thermal sources.
Advantages that a USB flash drive has over a hard disc?
It is convenient and you can stow it almost anywhere. It draws less power than a hard disc and has no moving parts. This does not make it more reliable but it has the potential to be more reliable. Hope this helps!
How reliable is the Honda VTX 1800?
The Honda VTX 1800 is a very reliable motorcycle. However, like any other motorcycle, if the bike has had less than proper maintenance than it is not as reliable as before.
Why do websites are less reliable than text book?
all the above are true.
Why is the power of tide better than nuclear power?
Opinions may differ on this, but tidal power does not produce pollution or dangerous radioactivity. On the other hand, does it work reliably?
Is the Volvo C30 a reliable car?
Highly reliable. 45,000 miles in less than 2 years with nothing other than standard maintenance. Very happy with it.
