OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Generation) works under the principle of differential temperature of the ocean in its latitude by the solar heating of the oceans on the surface (250C & more)and depth (500-100 feet at 00C). Thermal gradient temperature upto 220 C and higher can be exploited The energy is derived by the heat loss in the cooling water when warm water vaporises ammonia to steam to drive the turbine to generate electricity. An effeciency of 6.7%- 7% can yield 32 mega watts power.
Geothermal energy is the energy resource that extracts heat from rocks beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or provide heating and cooling for buildings. This renewable energy source takes advantage of the natural heat stored in the Earth's crust.
Yes, hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. As the warm water evaporates and rises, it releases heat into the atmosphere, which fuels the storm's development and intensification. This process is known as the latent heat of condensation.
Yes, hurricanes get their heat and energy from warm seawater. When warm ocean water evaporates and rises, it releases heat into the atmosphere, providing the fuel needed for hurricanes to form and intensify.
The main source of heat is from the sun.
Seawater is a major component of the hydrosphere, covering about 70% of the Earth's surface. It plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate through its capacity to store and release heat. Seawater also helps support marine life by providing habitat, nutrients, and serving as a transportation medium for various organisms.
The sun's heat causes seawater to evaporate, leaving behind salt crystals. This process, known as solar evaporation, helps to separate salt from water and is used in salt production from seawater.
Yes, this process is known as thermohaline circulation. It occurs when denser, colder seawater sinks beneath less dense, warmer seawater, generating deep ocean currents that help regulate Earth's climate by distributing heat around the globe.
Natural gas can be used as a fuel source to heat seawater in an evaporation process to create salt. The heat from the natural gas is used to evaporate the water, leaving behind salt crystals which can then be harvested. This process is commonly used in large-scale salt production facilities near coastal areas.

The process of removing salt from seawater
Evaporation is a process that increases the salinity of seawater, not decreases it. Other processes that decrease the salinity of seawater include precipitation, melting of icebergs, and the input of freshwater from rivers.
yes
evaporation
desalination
This process is called distillation.
The process used to remove salt from seawater is called desalination. This process helps to produce freshwater for drinking and irrigation purposes.
