The amount of energy generated by a hydroelectric dam depends largely on __________________.
A)latitude
B)the volume of water released and the height of the fall
C)the phase and position of the moon
D)the temperature of water in the boiler and turbine
E)the temperature of reservoir water

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of water released and the height of the fall are two of the primary factors that determine the amount of energy generated by a hydroelectric dam. The greater the volume of water and the height of the fall, the more energy the dam can produce. Latitude, the phase and position of the moon, and the temperature of the reservoir water and boiler/turbine do not have a significant impact on energy generation.
