Ten types of energy

                            Ten types of energy

Tidal Energy:

Tidal energy is defined as sustainable energy that takes advantage of the movement that occurs in the water due to the wind and the gravitational forces exerted by the Sun and the Moon that cause the tides. The operation of the tide or energy of the tides is very basic, since the energy is obtained by coupling a turbine that generates electricity from this natural movement. To take advantage of this renewable energy what is done is that reservoirs are built near the coasts to allow the storage of water when the tide rises, by the time the tide goes down, releasing it to the sea by passing it through a turbine that produces electricity with this movement of the Water.

 phytoplanktonic material found in marine basins
