The energy of water flowing in a river is considered an indirect form of solar energy because it is ultimately driven by the sun. The sun's energy causes water to evaporate from the Earth's surface, which then condenses and falls as precipitation. This precipitation flows over the land, creating rivers that can be harnessed for hydropower, making the energy ultimately derived from the sun.

What type of energy do pebbles flowing in a river have?

First, pebbles do not "flow" in a river, it is the river which flows. The flowing of a river is caused by the conversion of potential energy (caused by the height difference in the water at the rivers current position and it mouth) into kinetic energy (the movement of flowing). If the friction between the flow of the water and the pebble is high enough, some of the kinetic energy in the water can be passed to the pebble and this too will begin to move.

How does energy do work?

energy does work by giving another object energy to do work. something moves/motions, which creates energy for another object to use. for example: a flowing river spins a watermill, which then works for other purposes. energy = flowing river object that receives energy to do other work = watermill ur welcome maddie b.
