All About Ocean Energy: Ages 11-14
Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface. They constitute a vast reserve of energy produced by moving water, sea breezes or . The challenge is capturing the energy, a task that isn’t easy. As always, it’s a question of choosing the right technologies, which evolve constantly, without doing harm to the environment. Here is a broad overview of the different ocean energies, also known as “blue energies”.
Wind energy for ages 15-18
, which finds its source in wind strength and can be transformed into , is rapidly developing worldwide. wind turbines, installed off coastlines worldwide, open a wide range of possibilities for the growth of this . Spotlight on this challenge.
Wind energy for ages 11-14
Learn how wind’s strength is harnessed to convert it into electricity. Onland or offshore wind turbines are efficient structures for doing so, with their high masts and rotor-generator units. Together with solar energy, wind energy is one of the major renewable energies of tomorrow.
