What else can I help you with?
Why are hydroelectricity and tidal energy similar?
they both rely on water
What are the different types of power?
hydroelectricity solar energy tidal power oil power wind power coal power nuclear power
What other source of energy can you use instead of hydroelectricity?
Electicity from coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, biomass, wind, solar, tidal sources.
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.
What alternative energy is used to generate electricity?
If by alternative you mean "not fossil fuels" then the following:The kinetic energy of water (Hydroelectricity)The kinetic energy of wind (wind turbines)The rotational/tidal energy of the Earth/MoonDirect Sunlight (both heat and Photovoltaic).Geothermal energy.
What forms of energy can water be made into?
Water can be converted into various forms of energy, including hydropower, thermal energy from heating water, and potential energy through elevation changes in hydroelectricity. It can also be used to generate kinetic energy in the form of wave or tidal power.
What are the limitations of using tidal energy?
Tidal energy is only available on the coast. Some locations are better than others for tidal energy because of the tidal range - for example, the North West of Australia has a very large tidal range.Converting tidal energy to electrical energy may require the construction of channels or barrages which may impact on the environment.
Is Tidal energy renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
Tidal energy is considered a renewable energy source because it relies on the predictable movement of tides, which are driven by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. As long as the Earth has oceans and tides, tidal energy can be harnessed continuously.
Why is tidal energy a renewable form of energy?
Because tides are created every second.
What are the differences between geothermal and tidal energy?
Geothermal is taken from heat being made by the insides of the earth, usually in the form of hot springs and steam. Think Yellowstone. Tidal is taken from the changing of high tide to low tide and vise versa. It's a formal of hydroelectricity. Both of these are very "green" ways of harvesting energy unlike coal burning.
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
Why is tidal power useful?
Tidal power is useful because it generates electricity that is renewable, free and non-polluting. So it is an excellent replacement for energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which is non-renewable, expensive and polluting (that is, causing global warming).
