Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

What renewable energy resource for most of Northern Europe, is produced by rivers formed from melting glaciers?

A	Wind turbines
B	geothermals
C	hydro eclectric power
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydropower, or hydroenergy, is a form of renewable energy that uses the water stored in dams, as well as flowing in rivers to create electricity in hydropower plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wave and tidal energy projects use the kinetic energy in ocean waters, again to get a turbine to spin, producing electricity. In-stream hydro-kinetics is an emerging set of technologies that are similar in design to wave and tidal energy projects but are meant to be placed in streams.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because hydropower plants can generate power to the grid immediately, they provide essential backup power during major electricity outages or disruptions. Hydropower provides benefits beyond electricity generation by providing flood control, irrigation support, and clean drinking water. Hydropower is affordable.
