Question

Floating turbine generators are used in the sea to harness ______

• A. hydrostatic energy
• B. wave energy
• C. Solar energy
• D. thermal energy

Answer 1

The correct option is B

wave energy

The kinetic energy possessed by huge waves near the seashore can be trapped to generate electricity. The waves are generated by strong winds blowing across the sea. A wide variety of devices have been developed to trap wave energy for rotation of turbine and production of electricity.
Hydrostatic energy is the energy possessed by static water i.e. potential energy
