What else can I help you with?
How is most of the hydroelectric power in this country generated?
Most hydroelectricity is generated from large dams built across large rivers. A smaller amount comes from turbines in rivers, bays and swift-moving tidal races.
How is the large amount of energy found in plasma generated?
The energy is produced by colliding charged particles.
How is the large amount of energy found in a plasma generated?
The energy is produced by colliding charged particles.
What bodies of water did people build dams across to build reservoirs?
Dams are built to create reservoirs.
Why you believe mot of the large citiles in the US are on rivers?
Before roads and railways were built all over the place, rivers and riverboats offered easy transportation.
Where were most factories built in the northeast throughout the 1800s?
The Northeast of the US had a large, concentrated, population and access to resources including raw materials and power. The many fast-flowing rivers of the northeast provided energy to run mills based on water power.
Do young rivers Carry large objects?
No, young rivers typically do not carry large objects. They have higher energy levels and are still forming their channels, so they tend to carry smaller sediments like sand, silt, and clay. As rivers mature and their energy levels decrease, they are better able to transport larger objects.
Where is all of the energy of the sun generated from?
The energy of the sun is generated in its core through nuclear fusion reactions. Hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This energy is then radiated outwards as sunlight.
Where does the energy generated by nuclear power plants come from?
The energy generated by nuclear power plants comes from the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
How is energy generated in the core of a star?
Energy in the core of a star is generated through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy production is sustained by the extreme pressure and temperature conditions found at the core of the star, which allow fusion reactions to occur.
Why are windmills so large?
Windmills are large in order to capture as much wind energy as possible. The larger the windmill blades, the more wind they can catch and convert into rotational energy to generate electricity. A large size also helps in producing more energy efficiently, making wind energy a cost-effective renewable energy source.
Can large ships sail on rivers?
Only on very large rivers, such as the River Avon.
