Some forms of wave energy, such as x-rays and gamma, can penetrate human skin and kill cells within the body (this is why they are used to treat cancer). However too much exposer can be extremely harmful causing bodily defects and can alter the way unborn babies develope.

∙ 12y agoYes, tidal power usually involves damming an estuary and this can affect the sediment balance in the estuary and also the movement of species up and down the estuary and cause the loss of intertidal habitats.

∙ 10y agoFirstly, it's more commonly known as hydropower. Here are a few advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: The source is renewable and won't be going away any time soon. It doesn't effect/harm the environment.
Disadvantage: When the tide is out, you won't recieve any power.

∙ 9y agoThe Good thing about tidal energy is that is a very clean for of energy. Tidal energy is also renewable. Tidal energy plants could be place along the coast.

tidal energy is very expensive

What are some good things about wave energy?
Tidal And Wave Energy Is Predictable One of the biggest wave energy advantages is that this alternative energy source is predictable, and that is not true of most alternative sources. The waves will continue to form and move, and severe weather in the ocean only increases the energy potential of the waves
What wave carries the most energy?
Tidal..
Two ways which energy can be extracted from the ocean?
One way is using wave energy and another is tidal energy. however wave energy is pretty new and tidal energy works better in rivers :)
What kind of energy is ocean wave?
Tidal power.
Is wave power and tidle power the same?
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.

What are energy transformations in a tidal wave power station?
There are no tidal wave power stations.Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.

Why is tidal wave power energy good?
some advantages of tidal energy are, continuous, predictable energy. Another benefit of tidal power is that it is predictable. The gravitational forces of celestial bodies are not going to stop anytime soon.

Would you recommend using tidal wave energy in Australia?
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
Where tidal energy is located in Thailand?
In the sea or near the shoreline for some wave energy devices.
Which energy can be renewed?
Wind, tidal, wave power, solar energy, biomass, hydro power
Can energy be renewable?
Wind, tidal, wave power, solar energy, biomass, hydro power
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
