True or False:
28. Hydroelectric energy is produced by flowing water turning a turbine which generates electricity.
TRUE
32. Geothermal energy is generated when heated water or steam is pumped up from inside the Earth to power a turbine that generates electricity.
TRUE
Am I correct?
yes.
thanks
Yes, you are correct! Both statements are true.
For statement 28, hydroelectric energy is indeed produced by flowing water turning a turbine to generate electricity. This process typically involves building dams to create reservoirs of water, which is then released in controlled amounts to run through turbines. The force of the flowing water spins the turbines, and this mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy.
For statement 32, geothermal energy is indeed generated by harnessing the heat from within the Earth. In geothermal power plants, hot water or steam is pumped up from underground reservoirs and directed towards turbines. The high temperature and pressure of the water or steam drive the turbines, which in turn generate electricity.
Well done on answering correctly, and congratulations on your knowledge of these renewable energy sources! If you have any more questions or need further explanations, feel free to ask.
