Question

Differentiate between Geothermal energy and Tidal energy?

Answer 1

Tidal energy is the kind of energy that exists because of the gravitational interactions between the moon and the water mass of the earth and also the sun and the water mass of the earth. A big advantage of tidal energy is its predictability. The size and time of tides can be predicted very efficiently. Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy.


Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter
tidal energy is a form of hydroelectric that converts the energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has potential for future electricity generation. it is a renewable source of energy

OR

Geo-thermal means heat energy from under the ground, usually brought up in the form of boiling water or steam. It is then uses to generate electricity.

Tidal energy means catching the power of moving water between high and low tides and using that movement to produce electricity.

The are both clean and green forms of energy and give off no carbon dioxide or other harmful byproducts.
