Question

what is the limitations of harnessing tidal energy

Answer 1

limitations are

● There are very few sites in world which are suitable for building tidal dam

● The rise and fall of sea water during high and low tides is not enough to generate electricity at large scale

Answer 2

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. The high and low tides occur due to the gravitational pull of the moon. This causes enormous movement of water.

(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. This flowing water rotates the turbine, present at the opening of the dam and produces electricity.
