What is the function of a hydro power plant?

• To extract natural gas from underground reservoirs

• The function of a hydro power plant is to generate electricity using the energy of flowing water.

• To manufacture solar panels

• To produce wind turbines

How does a hydro power plant generate electricity?

• By using the energy of flowing water to spin turbines and drive generators.

• By burning fossil fuels to create steam and drive turbines.

• By harnessing the energy of sunlight to generate electricity.

• By using the heat from the Earth's core to power turbines and produce electricity.

What is the environmental impact of hydro power plants?

• Negative impact on wildlife and ecosystems

• Significant air pollution from hydro power plants

• Low environmental impact, as they do not produce air pollution and the water used is often returned to the natural water cycle.

• High environmental impact due to excessive water usage

What is the main difference between nuclear power stations and hydro power plants?

• The main difference is the color of the power plants.

• The main difference is the source of energy.

• The main difference is the location of the power plants.

• The main difference is the size of the power plants.
