a location in the middle of a tectonic plate

an area with extreme high and low tides

Which of the following are costs associated with geothermal?

Heat pumps have expensive upfront costs

Geothermal power plants can only be built in places with easy access to geothermal energy.

Not sustainable if hot groundwater is used faster than it is naturally replenished

Geothermal cannot be used for base load power

Which of the following are benefits associated with geothermal?

Much less air pollution than fossil fuels

Some geothermal energy projects can trigger earthquakes

Geothermal electrical plants can be used in any city

Where will the future growth of hydropower be?

the developing world - parts of China and India

Developed countries like the US

Select all the challenges faced (cons) with hydropower:

people are displaced when dams are built

fish like salmon cannot swim upstream

we are running out of places to build dams, so growth will be minimal in the developed world

Carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution occur

What is true of tidal energy?
