What are some disadvantages to hydro kinetic energy

Biology
1 answer:
Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Its expensive, limited resources, drought e.t.c.

Explanation:

Hydro kinetic energy uses water to produce electricity which we use in our houses and businesses area. Hydroelectric energy can be generated on a small scale with a ‘run-of-river’ installed. As much as they are advantages. We also have disadvantage which are:

Drought: as water run off water are being used to generate the energy, energy prices are directly related to how much water is available. So a drought could potentially affect this.

Expensive: while building power plants in general is cost or expensive, hydroelectric power plants are not an exception, although the workers and maintenance costs are usually low.

Environmental disturbance: hydropower interfere in nature with the damming of water, changed water flow and the construction of roads and power lines. Draining would be completely devastating to any aquatic life close to the site.

neonofarm [45]

<u>Answer</u>: Dense regular (fibrous) connective tissue.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Connective tissue</em> is a tissue that performs various functions such as binding, connecting and supporting the other organs or tissues or separating one tissue from another.
  • <em>Dense regular connective tissue</em> connects various tissues present in the body.
  • Since the fibers are tightly <em>packed</em>, this tissue is <em>dense and fibrous</em>, and because the arrangement of the fibers is in <em>parallel</em> fashion, it is of the <em>regular</em> type.

Make a list of the things that make a hurricane different from a regular thunderstorm.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The biggest difference is that hurricanes need a warm moist water to keep on going and never forms over land, while thunderstorms can form over land or water. Tornadoes are also associated with cumulonimbus clouds.

Explanation:

A hurricane is a swirling, low-pressure system that develops over the tropics with sustained winds that have reached at least 74 miles per hour.

Warm, moist air near the ocean's surface rises upward, cools, and condenses, forming clouds. With less air than before at the surface, the pressure drops there. Because air tends to move from high to low pressure, moist air from surrounding areas flows inward toward the low-pressure spot, creating winds. This air is warmed by the ocean's heat and the heat released from condensation, so it rises. This starts a process of warm air rising and forming clouds and surrounding air swirling in to take its place. Before long, you have a system of clouds and winds that begins to rotate as a result of the Coriolis effect, a type of force that causes rotational or cyclonic weather systems.

Hurricanes are the most dangerous when there is a big storm surge, which is a wave of seawater that floods communities. Some surges can reach depths of 20 feet and sweep away homes, cars, and even people.

A thunderstorm is produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead, that includes rain showers, lightning, and thunder.

They start when the sun heats the earth's surface and warms the layer of air above it. This warmed air rises and transfers heat to the upper levels of the atmosphere. As the air travels upward, it cools and the water vapor contained within it condenses to form liquid cloud droplets. As air continually travels aloft in this way, the cloud grows upward in the atmosphere, eventually reaching altitudes where the temperature is below freezing. Some of the cloud droplets freeze into ice particles, while others remain "supercooled." When these collide, they pick up electric charges from one another; when enough of those collisions happen, the big buildup of charge discharges, creating lightning.

Thunderstorms are most hazardous when rain decreases visibility, hail falls, lightning strikes or tornadoes develop.
