Write two different ways of harnessing energy from the ocean.
Energy from the sea: 1. Tidal energy: Locations in India – Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat and West Bengal Depends upon harnessing the rise and fall of sea level due to tidal action. Dams are constructed across a narrow part of sea the and a turbine converts tidal energy into electrical energy. Disadvantage: Uniform tidal action is not seen. Wave energy: Kinetic energy of the sea waves are used to rotate turbines. These turbines generate electrical energy.
