What energy products are currently being obtained from the sea floor?

Energy products currently being obtained from the sea floor include oil and natural gas through offshore drilling, as well as renewable energy sources such as offshore wind and wave energy. These energy sources are harnessed through various technologies to generate power for electricity or fuel.


Where has England turned to for energy resources in recent years?

England has diversified its sources of energy in recent years, turning to a mix of nuclear, renewable (such as wind and solar), and natural gas. The country has reduced its reliance on coal and has set ambitious targets to further increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix.


What is sea-coal?

Sea-coal is a historical term for coal that was retrieved from coastal areas or imported by sea. It was commonly used for fuel in the past before being phased out in favor of other sources of energy.


How do ocean ridges and deep-sea trenches support the theory of sea floor spreading?

Ocean ridges and deep-sea trenches support the theory of sea floor spreading through the process of plate tectonics. At ocean ridges, new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies, pushing the existing crust apart. Deep-sea trenches are areas where old oceanic crust is being subducted back into the mantle, completing the cycle of sea floor spreading. This continuous movement of crust at ridges and trenches provides evidence for the theory of sea floor spreading and the movement of tectonic plates.


Bands of magnetic material in the sea floor that have opposite poles or exhibit magnetic reversal can provide evidence for sea floor spreading true or false?

True. Bands of magnetic material in the sea floor that have opposite poles or exhibit magnetic reversal provide evidence for sea floor spreading. This is because as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, Earth's magnetic field periodically reverses, creating magnetic stripes on the ocean floor that align with the direction of the magnetic field at that time.

How do deep sea creatures live without heat?

They use other sources of energy. Like geothermal waters, or just food.

Where do tsunamis get their destructive power?

The source of energy is from movement of the sea floor or sediment on the sea floor. This movement displaces some water and so gives energy to the water.


What is green energy sources?

sunlight, water energy and wind energy all are green energy sources. now a day produce energy from Tide and low tide of the sea.


Can you use sea water in geothermal plant?

Geothermal energy is often though of as having geological structure involved. But water-source heat pumps are also regarded as geothermal for the purpose of classification. Sea water can certainly be used for these. It is possible you are referring to the circulating water for the plant, and in this case sea water might be possible, but probably would not be very practical.


What are commercial sources of energy?

Fossil Fuels Water at a height above sea level Wind Tides Waves Plant matter Rotting waste Sunlight (as heat or photovoltaic) Animal power Geothermal


What organism does not require sunlight to live?

Some deep-sea creatures like tubeworms and certain bacteria do not rely on sunlight for their energy. They instead use a process called chemosynthesis to produce energy from chemicals found in their deep-sea environments.


What are all the energy resources?

Fossil Fuels - Gas, oil, coal, peat Ect. Solar Wind Hydro Sea Biomas Nuclear Geothermal


What are some sources of alternative energy that do not rely on fossil fuel?

# Solar power to provide hot water and electricity for your home. # Wind turbines to provide electricity. # Hydro-electric generation (rivers and dams) of electricity. # Geothermal tapping of heat from hot rocks and converted into electricity. # Harnessing of wave and tidal energy from the sea to generate electricity.
