Answer:

1) Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy.

2) Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

3) Generator. Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

4) Transmission lines. Conduct electricity from the hydropower plant to homes and business.

Eva8 [605]

I would make a law where anyone can come over to the United States and stay, regardless of their legal status. Open borders, where anyone, from anywhere, can, in exchange for providing ID, a customs/smuggling/invasive species check of their belongings, and maybe a health check, they get in. Once in, a separate but similarly simple process to get a green card. Following a suitable period of residency, say, 5-10 years, citezinship (if they want it). It would be suitable for this law to fall under the Legislative Branch, as it makes all laws (including laws relating to immigration), declares war, regulates interstate and foerign commerce, and controls taxing and spending policies.

Social scientists generally focus on relative deprivation definitions of poverty.
Marysya12 [62]

Social scientists generally focus on relative deprivation definitions of poverty. False. Capitalism promotes poverty because having a surplus of workers provides people who are willing to work for low wages.
