The difference between the above velocities is that they exist in opposite direction of each other. or it can be said that they are negative vectors of each other.
The answer is wind forces and Earth’s rotation
These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.
Hope this helps! :)
Gravitational potential energy -> Kinetic energy -> Mechanical energy -> Electrical energy.
The water starts up (potential) and flows down (kinetic), the flowing water turns a big wheel (mechanical) which creates electricity (electrical).
