∙ 11y agoYou can capture the energy from oceans:
- Using a tidal dam or barrage, that uses gravity and the advancing and retreating tide waters to spin turbines driving alternators.
- Using wave motion machines, sometimes floating, sometimes on the sea bed, which capture the vertical and horizontal movement of the waves to produce electricity by rotating alternators inside the machines.
- Using ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC),where systems use warm surface water to boil a liquid like ammonia, the resultant gas of which drives electricity turbines. Cold water from the deep is pumped up to cool the gas into liquid again, and the cycle continues.
- Use underseatidal turbines, rather like wind-turbines and their alternators, but mounted on the sea-bed and driven by the tidal flows.

What provides the energy needed to create winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans?
The sun is the original source of energy for such winds and currents.
Why is the deuterium from the oceans considered a potential energy source?
Nuclear energy is a type of potential energy. On the other hand, this may also refer to "potential" in the sense of "possible". It is possible that we harness this nuclear energy one day.
What kind of energy do turbines change heat energy?
OK first some background info. The Moon pulls on the earth's oceans, creating tides as it moves around the earth. so gravitational potential energy is turned into kinetic energy of the water molecules in the oceans. These tides are harnessed by tidal turbines and the kinetic energy is turned into electric potential energy aka electricity. (I'm not sure what the "heat energy" part means but some of the energy is lost to heat during both steps according to the second law of thermodynamics it that's what you're asking)
What is an example of an object that has potential energy?
Water in a hydroelectric dam has potential energy that came from the Sun's energy evaporating it and raising it up from the oceans. The energy is released by running the water down a chute so that it gains kinetic energy which drives a water turbine and that drives an electric generator.
Where does most of the energy in earths atmospheres and oceans and living systems come from?
The sun... study island cheaters...
What is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans?
The Sun is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans. The Sun, heat radiated form the Sun is the main source of energy driving convection in the atmosphere and oceans. There is also a small input form geothermal energy.

What are some examples of energy from oceans?
ocean energy is the ocean that has enegy
Where is energy stored in the water cycle?
oceans
What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?
Land reflects the Sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb it more quickly.

Does the oceans drive the water cycle supply?
Yes oceans drive water cycle supply. Water is evaporated from oceans.
What is the force driving the oceans currents?
Heat Energy
Is evaporation affected by solar energy?
Yes, in fact solar energy is the cause of evaporation from the oceans
What stores much of the energy in the Earth's water cycle?
oceans
What stores much of the energy in the earths water cycle?
oceans
What energy is radiated by Earths oceans into space?
biochemical raditaion
