Wind turbines are used worldwide in countries with suitable wind resources, such as the United States, China, Germany, India, and Denmark. They are commonly found in regions with steady winds, such as coastal areas, plains, and mountain passes. Wind farms are also increasingly being developed offshore to harness stronger and more consistent wind currents.

What are the example of renewable resources?
Electrical energy resources: Wave power Solar power (also as heat energy) Geothermal power (generating electricity by turning turbines from steam generated in thermal pockets in the ground- eg in Iceland; also used directly for heating) Wind power Tidal power Biomass (newly grown plant/waste matter burnt just like fossil fuels) There are other non-energy resources that you can consider as renewable- for example building materials: insulation made of wool instead of plastic; fast growing bamboo from a responsible source instead of an ancient slow growing wood from a rainforest. Food resources must also be renewable- for example stocks of Atlantic cod are being used at an unsustainable rate and will become instinct if the trend continues. Any source which is not depleted in the long term by you using it can be considered a renewable resource. Fossil fuels are not a renewable resource because if you used it all now, there would not be any significant amount of new fossil fuel in 1000 years. Any resource can be renewable if the rate at which it is used up, is less than or equal to the rate at which it is produced.
Wind is generated in response to?
Wind is generated in response to the uneven heating of Earth's atmosphere by the sun. As air is heated, it expands and rises, creating areas of low pressure. Wind then moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas to balance out these pressure differences, resulting in the flow of air that we feel as wind.
What is the scientific name of power?
POWA
What is the scientific name or taxonomic classification of the mammal Wind River pine squirrel?
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Tamiasciurus hudsonicus ventorum.
Do you go up when you open your parachute?
Yes, you do. When a parachute deploys in mid air on the way down to the ground you go up. Only because when you are moving down the wind is moving up from you. So when the parachute opens and the wind is cought then the wind (going up) pushes the parachute up but only for a little while beause eventually gravity will take control.
How much of our energy comes from wind energy source?
Actually, most of our energy comes from wind energy sources, like wind turbines. Wind turbines are used all around the world.
How is the wind used?
turbines
Where have wind turbines been used successfully in the UK?
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
How is wind used directly?
For examples in wind turbines or wind mills.
What are wind turines used to create?
Wind TURBINES are used to create electricity.
What type of devices is used to harness wind energy?
Wind turbines are the devices used to harness wind energy. These turbines have blades that spin and generate electricity when the wind blows. Wind turbines are typically grouped together in wind farms to maximize energy production.
How many windmills are there in the world?
I doubt that a uniform count of windmills is available. Also, do you include wind pumps and wind turbines?
What are 5 examples of wind energy?
Wind turbines used for generating electricity. Wind pumps for pumping water or grinding grain. Sailboats harnessing wind power for propulsion. Windmills used for irrigation or milling grain. Kites generating electricity through flying turbines.
What is powered by wind energy?
Wind turbines are machines that convert the kinetic energy from the wind into electrical power. These turbines are used to generate electricity from wind energy, which can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines
Where is wind energy being used?
Australia, America, many countries in Europe and around the world. 40% of Denmark's electricity comes from wind turbines.
Are wind turbines used to generate electricity from the wind?
Yes. They are hazardous to birds, but the wind propels them.
