Question

Which forms of the ocean energy can be harnessed?

Answer 1

Ocean Energy: Ocean energy can be obtained from tides and waves. The potential and kinetic energy of the ocean water is utilized to produce mechanical energy, and it is further used to produce electrical energy using turbines.

The different forms of ocean energy that can be harnessed:

1. Tidal energy: Energy obtained from the high tides and low tides in the ocean.
2. Wave energy: Energy obtained from the kinetic energy of the waves.
3. Ocean thermal energy: The ocean's surface is at higher temperatures. This warm water is used to boil liquids with low boiling points like ammonia.
