Does hydroelectric power uses heat from hot rocks?

No hydroelectric uses water, usually stored behind a dam to drive a turbine. The hot rocks you speak of is geothermal energy. The most prolific use of geothermal energy is in Iceland.


What is the difference between hydroelectric energy and solar energy?

Solar energy is generated using solar panels that face the sun and gather the energy. Hydroelectric energy is generated by rushing water. The intense pressure creates a large amount of energy. Basically, solar energy uses the sun, and hydroelectric energy uses water.


What is the differences between the use of hydroelectric energy and coal?

Hydroelectric energy is generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water, typically by the use of dams, while coal energy is produced by burning coal to generate heat. Hydroelectric energy is renewable and cleaner than coal energy, which releases greenhouse gases and other pollutants when burned. Additionally, hydroelectric dams can have environmental impacts on aquatic ecosystems, while coal mining has significant environmental and health implications.


When a hydroelectric plant uses moving water to spin a device that generates electricity one form of energy is transformed into another?

Hydroelectric power is turning the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity
