What else can I help you with?
Where do tsunamis get their destructive power?
The source of energy is from movement of the sea floor or sediment on the sea floor. This movement displaces some water and so gives energy to the water.
How does green house rise the sea levels?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise. As a result, ice caps and glaciers melt, contributing to the overall rise in sea levels. This is because the melted ice adds more water to the oceans, leading to an increase in sea level.
What natural resources are used to create tidal power?
2 factors determine the size of the waves:
How do nuclear plants affect sea life?
The negative effects of nuclear power plants on sea life is very limited as the sea water used for cooling is fully separated from the nuclear fuel. In addition, the regulations require that the sea water temperature rise due to its use for nuclear plants cooling should exceed 5 degrees centigrade. Many swimming beaches are located close to the nuclear power plants sites.
Is sea water the same as water?
No. Freshwater does not have the same amount of dissolved materials as sea water. Sea water has a much greater amount of salt dissolved in it.
Why are so many power stations close to a large source of water i.e. the sea or a major river?
So the power stations dont use up so much fossil fuels. They use water to spin the turbines in the power stations and then it goes into energy ;) x
Can you use salt water in coal powered electricity stations?
Yes - some power stations located on the coast use sea water to cool the condensers. Examples of this include:Gladstone Power Station in Queensland, AustraliaKoeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa
Why are power stations often built beside rivers or the sea?
hydropower
The expansion of sea power required maintenance of stations throughout the world?
propaganda
Why are power stations which use nuclear to produce electricity built along coasts in most countries?
Because Neuclear Power Plants need water to cool down the reactors and thus the sea is a great place to get cold water from! :)
Is solar power better then power stations for the earth?
yes it is because power stations are making the ice malt and that makes sea levels rise, and Pole bears and prang-rings are dieing out by wazeeka
Why are power stations built by the sea?
Power stations are often built by the sea to take advantage of the abundant cooling water available for their operations, which is essential for maintaining optimal temperatures in power generation processes. Additionally, coastal locations facilitate the transport of heavy fuel supplies and equipment via shipping routes, reducing logistical costs. Furthermore, some power stations, like offshore wind farms or tidal energy facilities, are specifically designed to harness renewable energy sources directly from marine environments.

Why nuclear power station is situated near the sea?
Some are near the sea. In the UK they all are, because we don't have large enough lakes and rivers for cooling. whilst the sea is there as a good cold sink and transmission lines are not very long to get to load centres. In the US it is different, many stations are inland because the country is so much bigger, and there are sources of cooling water inland.
What are some advantagers of making nuclear energy?
Nuclear power stations with, say1800MW, are strategic water users and save 22 billion litres of fresh water per annum. The condensers are cooled by means of sea water, which is returned to the sea after use. The sea water is not consumed. In a similar period of time, a coal-fired power station of the same size would use more than 50 million tons of coal and 160 billion litres of fresh water. The fresh water would be consumed entirely.
Do power stations use heat to generate electricity?
Yes most power stations do use heat to generate electricity. Heat energy of the fuel (e.g. burning coal, burning oil, nuclear fission) is utilized to heat water present in the boiler. This heating generates steam, which is then utilized to run the turbine. However some power stations get the energy to generate electricity without using heat (e.g. hydroelectric dams, wind power, sea wave power, solar cell generation systems).
Why do sea eagles or fish eagles dont have feathers on their legs?
It increases their weight as the feathers trap water
