Why is hydro-electricity a clean source of energy?

Hydro-electricity is a clean source of energy. It is because energy is harnesses from flowing water. It does not cause pollution.


What is the main source of energy for hydroelectricity?

Water. (There is a clue in the name). Hydroelectricity is created by the use of the potential energy in water stored behind a dam. Actually, water itself is not a source of energy, though the original answer is somewhat correct, that it is the potential energy of the water (due to its height) stored behind the dam, we must look at what energy source moved the water (against the force of gravity) to its height behind the dam, and that source is the radiant energy of the sun. With the exception of nuclear and geothermal, the sun provides the source of all energy used on earth. Tidal 'energy' is mainly the result of the Moon's gravitational pull and therefore is not dependent on the Sun.


How is hydroelectricity applied?

it is used to provide energy or electricity.


What are examples of hydroelectric energy?

A water turbine dam is an example of hydroelectric energy. Hydroelectricity is an important part of the energy mix in the world.


How is hydroelectricity change into a useable product?

Hydroelectricity is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of flowing water, typically from rivers or dams. As water flows through turbines, it spins them, converting the kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy using generators. The resulting electricity is transmitted through power lines for use in homes and businesses.
