Disadvantages of thermal energy?
There are many disadvantages to using thermal energy including the cost. It is very expensive to harvest thermal energy from many feet below Earth's surface.
What are the advantages of using ocean thermal energy?
Thermal energy can be used in generating electricityNon-polluting, so doesn't cause global warming.Free, renewable and never-ending
What is the major source of energy on earth from the sun?
The energy from the ocean is the major recipient of solar energy. And in turn, the energy from the ocean is also the major source of energy here on earth. Ocean energy takes three major forms: wave energy, tidal energy, and thermocline energy, popularly called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC)
What are the three types of thermal energy?
there are 2 that i know of solar and ocean
What energy is the thermal energy?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.

What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
What type of energy does the ocean have a lot of?
Thermal energy.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of Dendro Thermal energy?
love
Where is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion used?
It is to be employed
Is thermal energy caused by the ocean?
No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.
Which state is pioneer in harnessing ocean thermal energy?
coastal areas
I where did high thermal energy flow at mid ocean ridge come from?
>.<
What are the disadvantages of ocean energy?
we can't get it every time because of the ocean tidal there not always there
Ocean thermal energy conversion OTEC is a process that uses heat engines to convert differences in ocean water temperature into energy?
mechanical
What are the sources of tidal power hydrogen fuel cells and ocean thermal energy conversion?
Alternative energy
Does thermal energy cause water at the ocean surface to evaporate?
Yes, it is true.
