Sati [7]3 years ago

The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.

Answer:

INVASIVE species

Explanation:

In biology, an organism is said to be INVASIVE if the organism is foreign to a particular region or habitat and possess the unpleasant ability to proliferate or grow rapidly to the point of competing with local species of organisms.

According to this question, humans are said to introduce organisms that have the ability to harm the local flora and fauna. Hence, these organisms are INVASIVE SPECIES because they are foreign to that place and cause damage in their new environment.
