Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
Which was the first hydroelectric dam?
Depending on who you believe, the first hydroelectric generator was either at Niagara Falls in 1880 or at Appleton, Wisconsin in 1882. However, it is unclear whether either of these had a dam - they may have been simple waterwheels.
What were the effects of the Yangtze dam in China?
cancer, death, deformed newborns. so many toxins go into that water, the poor villagers that live along the river in remote areas are dropping like flies. kids left without parents, some elders outliving their children. even deformation of people alive and living there. there's a special they did on the "local" channel that i watched a long time ago where they interviewed this one guy who lived in a village. if i find it i will post it for u.

Where is hydroelectric power?
Hydroelectric power is produced in areas with a terrain with significant elevation differences and abundant water flows. An example is northern Labrador. It is also used in the Andes Mountain Range.
What is upstream flooding?
Upstream floods are similar to flash floods. Large amounts of rain in a short period of time. Downstream floods are produced by storms of long duration that saturate the soil and produce increased runoff.
Where is hydroelectric power popular?
Hydroelectric power is produced in areas with a terrain with significant elevation differences and abundant water flows. An example is northern Labrador. It is also used in the Andes Mountain Range.

Why are wind hydroelectric and geothermal energy resources not suitable for providing energy worldwide?
Wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy resources are not suitable for providing energy worldwide because their availability is highly location-dependent. Wind energy requires areas with consistent wind patterns, hydroelectric energy needs access to rivers or dams, and geothermal energy requires proximity to geologically active areas. These limitations make it difficult for these sources to be universally accessible on a global scale.
Where would hydroelectric energy not be used?
Hydroelectric energy would not be suitable in areas with low water availability or where there are no suitable water sources like lakes or rivers. Additionally, regions prone to droughts or with unstable water flow may not be ideal for hydroelectric energy generation.
What word describes places that are away from the coast areas?
