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.

What are some examples of wave energy?

Examples of wave energy include ocean waves, tidal currents, and underwater currents. These natural sources of energy can be harnessed to generate electricity using technologies such as wave energy converters and tidal turbines.


Two ways which energy can be extracted from the ocean?

Two ways to extract energy from the ocean are through wave energy, using the motion of ocean waves to generate electricity through specialized devices, and tidal energy, harnessing the power of tidal movements to turn turbines and create electricity.


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 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


Is wave tides energy different then ocean wave energy?

Yes, wave tides energy refers to the energy harnessed from the rising and falling of tides, typically using tidal turbines. Ocean wave energy, on the other hand, involves capturing the kinetic and potential energy from ocean surface waves using wave energy converters. Both sources utilize wave motion but capture it differently.

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.
