Tidal and Wave

Question 1

It is a form of hydropower that harnesses the energy of the tides to generate electricity.

Answer 1

TIDAL ENERGY

Question 2

It is another form of hydropower that ultimately forms due to solar energy and its influence on high and low pressure.

Answer 2

WAVE ENERGY

Question 3

It is a type of Tidal Energy Power Plant that consist of a gate or barrage that captures the high tide, allowing water to be stored in a reservoir.

Answer 3

TIDAL BARRAGES

Question 4

It is a type of Wave Energy devices consist of a partly submerged hollow chamber fixed directly at the shoreline which converts wave energy into air pressure.

Answer 4

OSCILLATING WATER COLUMN
