It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
What else can I help you with?
How does ocean thermal energy work?
Therm means heat. Thermal energy is heat energy which has multipurposes, We obtain heat energy from sun which is very helpful for us in keeping ourself away from feeling cold in winter . That was one of the examples of your question
What is the source of energy in the ocean?
wind
What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy refers to the energy derived from the temperature differences that exist between warmer surface waters and cooler deep waters in the ocean. This temperature gradient can be harnessed to generate electricity using technologies such as Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). By utilizing the temperature difference, OTEC systems can produce clean and renewable energy.
Why does the global ocean absorb much of the solar energy that reaches the earth?
Because it has a greater surface than land, and therefore absorbs more solar energy. Also because the ocean is generally colder than land (ocean has less thermal energy than land) , and higher energy goes to lower energy.
Earth and weather and ocean circulation are powered by energy from?
Earth, weather, and ocean circulation are primarily powered by energy from the sun. Solar radiation drives the Earth's climate system through processes such as evaporation, convection, and atmospheric circulation. This energy input is essential for maintaining temperature gradients and driving weather patterns and ocean currents on our planet.
Would ocean energy work in places like Utah with no ocean?
Ocean energy requires an ocean.
What type of energy change takes place in a flashlight?
potineal energy is taken place in a flashlight then is turned into termal and electrical energy
Used indirectly when winds and ocean currents are used to do work?
solar energy
Can you translate the meaning of dendro thermal energy in tagalog?
"Dendro thermal energy" can be translated to Tagalog as "enerhiyang dendro termal." It refers to the energy derived from heat generated by the combustion or conversion of biomass from trees and plants.
How are winds and the deep ocean currents similar?
Because they both work with motions of energy
How does ocean energy release energy?
Because a lot of undeveloped energy are acculated in the ocean , when the ocean is flooding , the energy will be released .
Is it termal energy if you ride a bike?
Not really. You'll get a bit of heat(thermal energy) in brakes, poorly maintaned bearings and in the rider's muscles - but that's all just unavoidable losses, and isn't helping the ride at all.
When was ocean energy invented?
Ocean energy was invented In 1966
What is energy from ocean water?
The energy produced by the movement of ocean water is Tidal Energy
What is ocean energy?
Ocean energy refers to the energy that can be harnessed from the ocean, including wave energy, tidal energy, and ocean thermal energy. These renewable sources of energy have the potential to generate electricity and can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
What are some examples of energy from oceans?
ocean energy is the ocean that has enegy
What the difference between ocean energy and hydro energy?
Ocean energy refers to various forms of renewable energy derived from the ocean, such as tidal, wave, and thermal energy. Hydro energy, on the other hand, specifically refers to energy generated from flowing water in rivers or dams. While both sources come from water, ocean energy harnesses the power of the ocean, while hydro energy focuses on rivers and dams.
