Ocean energy

Three basic ways1.Wave energy2.Tidal energy3.Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

Wave Energy

Tidal Energy

• tides comes into the shore• trapped in reservoirs • turn water wheels to use it u need

increase of at least 16 feet between low tide to high tide

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

Power plants can be built that use this difference in temperature to make energy. A difference of at least 38 degrees Fahrenheit is needed between the warmer surface water and the colder deep ocean water.

The Power of Moving Water

All around Planet Earth, water is on the

move.

It starts off as rain or snow on the mountains, water flows downhill under the force of gravity

Running water forms streams and large rivers

Seasonal rain and snowfalls bring fresh water back to the headwaters of streams, completing a very important ecological system called the “hydrologic cycle.”

• Rivers and Streams are among nature’s most powerful forces

• There are many other forms of water in motion: Ocean waves, tides and currents.Currents and Waves are usually caused by winds blowing over the Ocean.Tides are caused by moon’s gravity

• Moving Water is an important source of mechanical energy.

Humans have long appreciated the power ofmoving water, and have been using it for

thousands of years.
