MCQ
Tidal energy is harnessed by :
- ATransporting sea water to a close dam.
- BConstructing a submerged dam.
- ✓Constructing a dam across a narrow opening to the sea.
- DConstructing an overhead dam.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Constructing a dam across a narrow opening to the sea.
Difference in sea $-$ levels due to tides during different times of day gives us tidal energy. Tidal energy is harnessed by constructing a dam across a narrow opening to the sea. A turbine fixed at the opening of the dam converts tidal energy to electricity.
