Drag each label to the correct location. Each label can be used more than once. In a hydropower station, water stored in dams is
allowed to fall with force to make a turbine move. The turbine moves and produces electricity. In the diagram, identify the stages of transformation of energy in the hydropower station. Please help!!

Answer:
Stored water - gravitational energy
Water fall - kinetic energy
Turbine - kinetic energy
Powerlines - electric energy
Explanation:
Dams are used to store or hold water for hydroelectric power plants. This stored water which has gravitational energy is a form of potential energy.
When the water is left to fall and run fast through the turbine, the gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the turbine to spin.
As the turbine spins, kinetic energy that is produced also powers the shaft of the engine in the electric generator, which produces electricuty.
Kinetic energy is transformed to electric energy and transmitted along powerlines.
*See attachment below for labelled energy that is being transformed at several points.
