Question

Write two different ways of harnessing energy from the ocean.

Answer 1

Step 1: Energy

Energy is the capacity of doing work.

Step 2: Ways of harnessing energy from the ocean

1. Tidal wave energy: Tidal energy is harvested by building a dam across a small channel to the sea. A turbine at the dam's opening converts tidal energy into electricity.
2. Ocean thermal energy: It is a method of running a heat engine and producing useful energy by utilizing the temperature difference between the cold deep sections of the sea and the cold shallow parts of the sea.
