Tides can be converted from kinetic energy to electric energy. The machines that are used for this conversion is called a turbine. It is a more predictable source as compared to solar and wind energy. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
This is how Churchill expressed inability to predict what Soviet Union will at the start of World War 2. The timeline below show why he could be puzzled:
a) August 23, 1939 - Soviet Union and Germany sign non-aggression pact
b) September 1, 1939 - Germany invades Poland (then ally of Britain and France).
c) September 3, 1939 - Britain declares war on Germany as a consequence of German's invasion of Poland.
d) September 17, 1939 - Soviet Union invades eastern Poland. Poland is defeated and partitioned between Germany and Soviet Union.
Therefore from Churchill standpoint: Soviet Union is allied with Germany, whom are at war with Britain. Go figure what Stalin is going to do?

Answer:
D. Rapid modernization and the formation of a strong military made Japan very powerful
Explanation:
The Meiji restoration was crucial for Japan and its development. Instead of being colonized like most of the Asian countries, Japan became the invader. The Meiji restoration brought in big changes in Japan, quickly industrializing the nation, making it economically strong, and creating a modern and very powerful army. All this made the colonial powers think twice before they try anything with Japan, so they tried to avoid any conflict with it. In fact, Japan became so strong, that in the years to come it managed to defeat Russia and China on its own, and started to colonize parts of Asia afterwards.
With the onset of the bitter winter cold, the Continental Army under General George Washington, still in the field, enters its winter camp at Valley Forge, 22 miles from British-occupied Philadelphia. Washington chose a site on the west bank of the Schuylkill River that could be effectively defended in the event of a British attack.
During 1777, Patriot forces under General Washington suffered major defeats against the British at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown; Philadelphia, the capital of the United States, fell into British hands. The particularly severe winter of 1777-1778 proved to be a great trial for the American army, and of the 11,000 soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, hundreds died from disease. However, the suffering troops were held together by loyalty to the Patriot cause and to General Washington, who stayed with his men. As the winter stretched on, Prussian military adviser Frederick von Steuben kept the soldiers busy with drills and training in modern military strategy.
When Washington’s army marched out of Valley Forge on June 19, 1778, the men were better disciplined and stronger in spirit than when they had entered. Nine days later, they won a victory against the British under Lord Cornwallis at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey.
