Question
Write two different ways of harnessing energy from ocean.
Answer in Brief
Solution
The two different ways of harnessing energy from ocean are:
- Ocean Thermal Energy : It is the energy obtained, due to the temperature difference at the surface and in depth of the ocean. It arises due to the heating of the surface of the ocean by the sun and the lower surface remains cold.
- Tidal Energy : It is the energy obtained, due to the high tides of the ocean. It arises due to the gravitational pull of the moon on the earth.
