What type of energy enables water to turn turbines in dams?
Hydro - Electric
Three ways of saving electricity?
solar panels wind turbines water turbines (or dams)
What are some examples of hydroelectricity?
dams, turbines, etc.
Do hydroelectric dams use the movement of water to turn turbines?
Yes they do.
How is hyroeletric power obained?
Hydroelectric power is obtained by dams water flows through the dams, spinning turbines that are attached to generators.
Do the animals that live around dams and powerhouses effect the water turbines?
Yes
Where does hydroelectric get its energy from?
Basically from the sun. The warmth from the sun makes water evaporate, then winds(also caused by the sun) move the moisture about. Then it turns into rain, the rain drains into rivers, the rivers travel into dams, and the dams have turbines in them. As the power of the water turns the turbines, the turbines create electricity.
How power is produced?
It is produced by hydroelectric dams. In these dams, falling water (water in motion) is used to turn turbines which rotate the alternator - the machine that generates the electricity.
What do dams do in a hydro plant?
Dams store up a large volume of water in a very sharp gravitational gradient. This is used to drive the turbines and electromagnets that produce the electricity.
How is hydroelectric power produced?
It is produced by hydroelectric dams. In these dams, falling water (water in motion) is used to turn turbines which rotate the alternator - the machine that generates the electricity.
Why is the electricity produced at the bottom of the dams?
because gravitatinal potential energy of water is used to rotate turbines.
What are 4 technologies that produce energy?
solar panels Wind turbines Electric Dams Nuclear Powerplant
