Explain how hydroelectric energy is converted into electricity.

• Hydroelectric energy is used to power solar panels which then produce electricity.

• Turbines are turned by the force of flowing water to spin generators and produce electricity.

• The water is boiled to create steam which turns the turbines and generates electricity.

• The force of flowing water is used to directly power electrical appliances.
