What causes tidal energy?
Think about how the moon affects ocean levels.
Name one type of tidal energy system.
What are the structures that harness tidal power?
What is tidal energy primarily derived from?
Think about what moves water up and down.
True or False: Tidal energy is unpredictable compared to solar energy.
Consider how we anticipate the tides.
Calculate the potential energy harnessed from a tidal barrage with a height difference of 5 m and a flow area of 50 m² during high tide. Use the formula PE = mgh where m is volume, g is gravitational acceleration.
Recall that potential energy can be determined from height and volume.
Discuss how tidal energy could balance power supply in the event of solar energy fluctuations.
Consider how different energy sources stabilize a grid.
