Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is an?
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is tidal energy. Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy that scientists have found ways to use for energy supply required around the world.
Is Tidal energy renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
tidal energy is inexhaustible because we cannot use up all of the ocean. tides will still go in and out
How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?
geothermal is the heat from the earth being used to produce electric power VS tidal use the movement of the oceans tides to produce electric power.
What is another source of energy besides the sun?
Most of the energy we use here on Earth ultimately comes from the Sun. That includes wind energy, water energy, coal, and many others. There are mainly two energy sources that DON'T ultimate come from the Sun. One is geothermal power; the other is tidal energy.
What is the best way to generate electricity and why?
There is no one answer to this question. It very much depends on local conditions and needs. You can't use geothermal energy if there is no convenient source. You can't use hydroelectricity if water, or high mountains, are in short supply. Tidal energy would be great in estuaries with a good tidal flow, but it requires enormous capital expenditure. Nuclear energy has enormous drawbacks, but is likely to produce reliable energy on the large scale.
Is tidal energy harmful to the earth?
Tidal energy is natural and is not harmful to the Earth. Scientists are currently studying ways to make use of tidal energy because of its many benefits.
Where is tidal energy used in the US?
Tidal power is used in Scotland, U.K., Ireland Tidal power is being used in many places. It would be used in many more places but it costs lots of money to make and install the generators. Also, finding a good place with strong enough surges of tides to actually generate the tides into electrcity or other forms of energy.
What type of energy does tidal energy use?
I think it is kinetic energy
Does trinidad and tobago use tidal energy?
no they do not :/
In what ways can you use tidal energy?
Tidal energy has been used in the past to run mills, but now the main way to use it is to generate electricity.
How does tidal fuel work?
Wave or tidal energy is a great, environmentally friendly means of generating energy. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power tidal energy is the best energy to use BUT there are a lot of con's to this source also so if you use this be generate of it.
What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
The rotation of the planets slows through the use of tidal power.
What Requirements to be able to use tidal energy?
It has to be on a hill.
Why is tidal energy inexhaustible?
Tidal energy is an nonpolluting inexhaustible energy source. However, its use is limited because it needs a large bay or estuary with a narrow outlet to the sea where there is fast moving water. There are not many suitable locations around the world for tidal power technology as it exists today.
Is there use of tidal energy in Canada?
Yes. There are three Barrage systems of tidal energy operating throughout the world.One of these is in the Bay of Fundy in Canada.
What kinds of Alternative energy could people use to reduce fossil fuel usage?
solarwindwater (hydro, tidal, wave)geothermalbiofuel
How does the US use tidal energy?
It doesn"t provide anything
