Jalissa was labeling a diagram of a hydroelectric dam. All the components of the dam have been labeled, but Jalissa needs to add arrows to show how the movement of the water can generate electricity. Which statement explains how Jalissa should draw the arrows to complete the diagram.

• The water flows into the reservoir, causing the water in the reservoir to rise and generate electricity through water energy.

• The water flows into the river to rise and generate electricity through water energy.

• The water flows into the dam, causing the turbine to spin and generate electricity through energy of motion.

How does a water wheel work?

• Water wheels cannot be used to create energy.

• Water turns the wheel to keep the river from flooding.

• Water turns the wheel making it do work and creating energy.

• Water keeps the wheel from turning fast, keeping it from making noise.
