Answer 1

Each point: 1 Mark

1. Tidal energy: Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity.
2. Wave energy: Wave energy is energy transferred from wind forces to the waves of a body of water, such as the ocean.
3. Ocean thermal energy conversion: Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a process that can produce electricity by using the temperature difference between deep cold ocean water and warm tropical surface waters.
