a) Define tidal energy.
b) Explain how the tidal energy harnessed and write one limitations of the use of tidal energy
Answers
Answer:
a) Tidal power or tidal energy is harnessed by converting energy from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity using various methods. Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has the potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun.
b) The rise of ocean water due to attraction of moon is called hight tide and its fall is called low tide. The energy obtained from tides is called tidal energy. The movement of water during high tide and low tide can be used to rotate turbine of generator and produce electricity. This is how tidal energy is harnessed.
Answer:
(a) Tidal energy: The energy produced by the surge of ocean water during high and low tides due to difference in sea-levels is called tidal energy. .
(a) Tidal energy: The energy produced by the surge of ocean water during high and low tides due to difference in sea-levels is called tidal energy. ... (b) Tidal energy: is harnessed by constructing a dam near the shores, During the high tides water flows into the dam and during the low tides, water flows out
