Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Underwater turbines powered by the movement of flood and ebb tides are known as tidal stream generators. Tidal barrages are large dams built across river estuaries that exploit the potential energy from the difference in water level between high and low tides. Tidal bulges refer to the raised areas of water that occur due to the gravitational pull of the moon during high and low tides. Spring tides and neap tides are two types of tides caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans.
