Answer:

Answer is option A.

reservoir - penstock - turbine - generator - transformer - electrical lines

Explanation :

The most important parts of a hydroelectric power plant are the dam and the reservoir. The dam which is built on a large river, has a reservoir placed behind it to store water. The height of the water in the reservoir is directly proportional to the maximum possible potential energy from the water. The penstock is a long pipe or shaft which transfer the water from the reservoir to the power generation unit.  Thus the water in the penstock has potential energy due to its height and kinetic energy due to its motion. The power generation unit contains turbines and generator. This water falls on the blades of the turbine which causes the blades to rotate. Thus the kinetic and potential energy of water is converted into the rotational motion of the turbine blades. The rotating blades causes the rotational motion of the turbine shaft, which is enclosed inside the generator where the electricity is produced. The rotational motion of the turbine shaft inside the generator generates magnetic field which is converted into alternating current by electromagnetic field induction. The transformer converts this electricity into a higher voltage which is then fed into power lines for distribution.

If the outside temperature decreases by 20 degrees Celsius, what will happen to a reptile’s body temperature?
oksian1 [2.3K]

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.

which technology do environmental scientists use to track vulnerable populations of animals fitted with an electronic collar?
Gnom [1K]
Scientists use radio technology in order to track endangered species. These include radio collars, tags and chips. These devices can then be tracked wither via satellites through GPS technology or by locating the radio waves emitted by these devices using receivers.
These devices have proven very helpful in tracking organisms and monitoring their populations.
