Question

explain in short: a) tidal energy b) ocean thermal energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

a.Tidal energy: The energy possessed by thing and falling water in tides is known as tidal energy.

Dams are constructed across a narrow opening to the sea to harness tidal energy mid produce electricity. However. it is not a major SOUVCC of energy as the rise and fall of seawater during tides is not enough to generate electricity on a large scale.

(b) Ocean thermal energy The energy available due to the difference in temperature of water at the surface and at deeper levels of ocean is called the ocean thermal energy. This energy is harnessed for producing electricity by a device called ocean thermal energy conversion power

Answer 2

Explanation:

TIDAL ENERGY

• Tidal energy is created using the movement of our tides and oceans, where the intensity of the water from the rise and fall of tides is a form of kinetic energy. Tidal power surrounds gravitational hydropower, which uses the movement of water to push a turbine to generate electricity.

OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY

• Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a process or technology for producing energy by harnessing the temperature differences (thermal gradients) between ocean surface waters and deep ocean waters. ... This temperature difference can be used to produce electricity and to desalinate ocean water.
