No, tidal power refers specifically to harnessing the energy from tides to generate electricity, while energy is a broader term that encompasses different forms of power such as solar, wind, and fossil fuels. Tidal power is a type of renewable energy that uses the gravitational forces of the moon and sun to generate electricity.
Tidal power produces electricity, the same electricity that you use in everyday life. Some countries are planning systems that will use the tides as a source of renewable energy. That is an extremely good idea.
no watt is a measurement of power where as if you meant joule that is a measurement of energy which are not the same thing
Yes. Tidal energy is renewable The energy of the tides will not go away if we use their power to generate electricity. It is renewable in the sense that we cannot take away the source of the energy by using them (unlike fossil fuels, of which there is a limited supply. No matter what use we may make of the tides, we do not use them up. The tides will continue to ebb and flow, driven by gravitational forces.
Another name for tsunami is tidal wave. They are both huge waves caused by earthquakes. Also, both their sizes depend on where the earthquake's epicenter and focus is. So, they are exactly the same thing.
They're not the same thing, potential energy is energy at rest whereas kinetic energy is energy in motion.
No, they are different.
No, they are not the same. Wave power refers to electricity or high pressure pumped water which is derived from the transformation of the kinetic and potential energy of ocean waves. Tidal energy refers to electricity which is derived from the transformation of the kinetic energy of tidal flows through narrow channels or from the potential energy of seawater impounded from tidal flows.
No, energy and power are not the same thing. Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat, while power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted.
Power and energy are not the same thing. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, while energy is the capacity to do work. In simpler terms, power is how fast energy is used or produced, while energy is the total amount available.

Once you convert the solar energy to electrical energy, it makes no difference where it came from. Distribution of such energy is exactly the same, whether it came from solar energy, a nuclear power station, a tidal power station, a geothermal power station, etc.
Yes, hydro power and hydroelectricity refer to the same thing. It is electricity generated by harnessing the energy of moving water using turbines in hydroelectric power plants.
Tidal currents are not quite the same thing as tides. Tidal currents are horizontal movements of water caused by the tides.
it aint6 a such thing as school
There is a large tidal energy scheme at Rance in northern France. There are smaller ones in other parts of the world. Tidal mills were once fairly common in Britain. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon. These forces translate into high and low tides, on the earth. Tidal energy is transferred from the moon to the earth by tidal torque. This results in tidal lock. This is why you always see the same side of the moon
