Why do tidal energy stations depond on large differences in water height between high tide and low tide?
Because you need a change of height to make the water run downhill and power a turbine. But of course you only get the power when there is a height difference, so the aim is usually to build a barrage across the mouth of an inlet and let it fill as the water rises, then you can let it out gradually over a period.

What are 5 differences between solar and wind energy?
solar energy is energy from the sun and wind energy is energy from the wind
How do energy differences between higher energy levels of an atom compare to lower energy levels?
They are smaller in magnitude than those between lower energy levels.
What are the differences between the sun and the Earth?
Differences include mass; temperature; energy production; density; composition (percentage of elements).
What are the differences between a Speed vs. Kinetic Energy Graph between a Mass vs. Kinetic Energy Graph?
Look at the equation for kinetic energy.It is clear that relation between mass and kinetic energy is linear (you would get a straight line on the graph), while the relation between speed and kinetic energy is quadratic (you would get a curve, specifically a parabola).
How many hydroelectric power stations are there in Britain?
There are around 2,000 hydroelectric power stations in Britain. These power stations generate renewable energy by using the flow of water in rivers and streams to turn turbines and produce electricity.

What type of power stations do not use chemical energy?
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.
What are the differences and similarities between matter and energy?
Friction and cohesiveness are the only differences. The matter has stronger potential energy with stronger cohesive forces and the energy has stronger kinetic energy with demonstration as frictional force.
What is the sources of energy used in space stations?
