Question
The primary source of ocean thermal energy is _________.
The primary source of ocean thermal energy is _________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C solar radiation
Ocean thermal energy is a cause of differential or uneven heating of ocean waters by the sunlight (solar radiation). The deeper parts of the ocean would be colder than the shallower parts. This temperature gradient can be used to generate electricity by installing an ocean thermal energy conversion plant (OTEC) in the ocean.
