Which of the following ocean currents are considered to have sufficient flow for electric power generation? Correct Answer: benguela, Torres, Kuroshio, Florida Ocean waves contain mechanical energ... y that can be converted to a source of power. Correct Answer: true In tidal pool design, the seawater flowing back and forth through the dam's spillways turn hydroelectric _____, which generate electricity. Correct Answer: turbines The tides must rise from 10 to 12 feet for tidal power to work. Correct Answer: false All ocean currents are considered to have sufficient flow for electric power generation. Correct Answer: false ______ is the type of tidal energy design used at the French Rance River project. Correct Answer: tidal pool design To generate electricity from tidal power, water flows from the tidal pool back into the ocean at high tide. Correct Answer: false Ocean waves are caused primarily by winds Correct Answer: true Hydroenergy is available in all geographical areas Correct Answer: false During high tide, seawater flows through the dam's _____ and backs up behind the dam Correct Answer: spillways The tides must rise from ____ feet for tidal power to work. Correct Answer: 16 to 50 Tidal power or energy is another important source of kinetic energy Correct Answer: true The __________, at a dam, drives hydroelectric turbines which, in turn, generate electricity Correct Answer: flow of water Turbines with reversible propellers enable the kinetic energy of seawater to be used as it flows in both directions. Correct Answer: true In the northern hemisphere, ocean currents move clockwise and are generally strongest on the ____ shores of landmasses Correct Answer: western Ocean currents are caused by all of the following except which? Correct Answer: not [temp/wind/rotationearth] This wave-energy design resembles a [Show More]
