Dams used for hydroelectric power must be large and tall to create sufficient water pressure needed to drive the turbines that generate electricity. The height of the dam allows for a greater gravitational potential energy of the water stored in the reservoir, which translates into more energy when it flows down. Additionally, a larger reservoir can store more water, ensuring a consistent supply for electricity generation even during dry periods. This design maximizes efficiency and output in hydroelectric power systems.

Which came first elevators or skyscrapers?
The answer must include that before skyscrapers, men built what at the time were considered "very tall" buildings between 4 and 10 floors high. They put elevators into these smaller "very tall" buildings. When skyscrapers came later, the concept of elevators simply went along with the concept of extremely tall buildings that tried to reach the sky. So, technically, elevators came before skyscrapers, in numerous small and large towns with what was then "very tall" buildings that were only a fraction of the size of skyscrapers.
What is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from genetic cross between two hybrid tall pea plants?
Assuming the gene/allele for a tall plant is dominant and short is recessive this is an impossibility. As in order for both parent plants to be short both chromosomes must contain the t (allele for short) and so the T (allele for tall) cannot be present and will not be passed on to the offspring and it cannot be tall.
What are the advantages of induced draught cooling tower over forced draught cooling tower?
When a project is originally designed, the designer must decide whether a natural draft or mechanical draft tower offers the best economic result. Mechanical draft towers are substantially less costly to purchase, but have the disadvantage of having a continuous auxiliary power draw. They are also physically smaller and shorter. Natural draft towers consume no auxiliary power, but are very expensive to purchase and erect. They are very large and tall. Often times, plants do not have enough "real estate" to fit such a large structure. One must do an economic analysis to establish which option is the best choice, economically. They are also simpler, not having any moving parts
Why was the petrona's twin towers built?
Like all skyscrapers, a vanity project. In the good old days, a big pyramid was a symbol of your importance, and later on a cathedral filled the desire. With the arrival of technology, came bridges and hydro dams, and atomic power plants are a current equivalent. Tall towers are a modern phase.
Why do the bottoms of tall buildings have to be extra strong?
The bottoms of tall buildings must be extra strong to support the immense weight of the structure above, including floors, walls, and any additional loads such as occupants and furniture. This structural integrity is crucial to ensure stability, especially in the face of environmental forces like wind and seismic activity. Additionally, a strong foundation helps to prevent issues like settlement or shifting, which could compromise the building's safety and longevity.
How many dams in the world?
There are least 48,000 dams in the world that are more than 45 feet tall. Almost half of these dams are in the nation of China.
Can tall structures prevent volanoes and lahars?
No. Tall structures will not affect volcanoes. Dams can potentially mitigate lahars.
What are the five shortest dams in the world?
The five shortest dams in the world are typically small structures designed for specific local needs rather than large-scale water management. Examples include the Mott Dam in the U.S., which is about 4 feet tall, and the Kinzua Dam, also in the U.S., at approximately 5 feet. Other short dams can be found in various regions, often built to create ponds or control small streams, but exact rankings and measurements may vary. Overall, these dams serve primarily local purposes rather than large-scale water management or flood control.
How many water dams?
Dams in AmericaThere are an estimated 75,000 dams in the United States, blocking 600,000 mi (970,000 km) of river or about 17% of rivers in the nation.
How large is a building if it's 23 feet tall?
Perhaps 23 feet in height! That must be a good guess, surely!
A scale model of a hydroelectric dam is 1.2 feet high The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the dam is 1 167 How tall is the dam in feet?
how tall is the model
Short is to tall as small is to?
Short is to tall as small is to large. In this analogy, short is the opposite of tall, just as small is the opposite of large. The relationship between short and tall is one of relative size, with short being less tall. Similarly, small is less large in terms of size.
