Hydro electric power is the process of production of electricity from the mechanical energy of water.

In the process of generation of hydro electricity ,large dams are constructed in which the water is stored.The water present at top of the dam has potential energy.The water is driven downward with high pressure. During the falling of water,the potential energy of the water is converted into equivalent kinetic energy. The water coming down with a heavy speed is allowed to fall on a turbine which is connected to a generator.

The mechanical energy of water drives the turbine and electricity is generated due to the electromagnetic induction .

Hence the option A is right i.e falling water that turns the turbine.

Can anyone explain the seasons of the earth?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The Earth's axis is tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic by 23.45°. This tilting is what gives us the four seasons of the year - spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter. Since the axis is tilted, different parts of the globe are oriented towards the Sun at different times of the year.
