Questions Related to wave power and tidal power

At many places in the ocean, the different in temperatures between the water 'at the surface of ocean' and 'at deeper levels' is up to

  1. $120^0C$

  2. $80^0C$

  3. $50^0C$

  4. $20^0C$


Correct Option: D

Arrange the following steps of conversion of ocean thermal energy into electricity, in a proper sequence.
(a) The vapour of ammonia or CFC is passed over the turbines of generators.
(b) The hot water from the ocean is used to vapourise the liquid like ammonia or CFC.
(c) Cold water from the ocean depths is used to cool the vapour again into liquid.
(d) This cold liquid is again vapourised and the process continues.

  1. b a c d

  2. c a b d

  3. c b a d

  4. a b c d


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hot water in the ocean is used to evaporate liquids like ammonia or CFC. This vapour is used to rotate the turbines of the generator and the vapour is again cooled down to a liquid by using the cold water from the ocean depth. This cooled liquid ammonia or CFC is again vapourised and the above process continues.

Tidal energy is a major source of energy due to the presence of large water bodies on the earth.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B

_________ are used to produce energy in OTEC.

  1. Tidal energy

  2. Temperature difference between the different layers of water in ocean

  3. Ocean waves

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B

Which of the following is not a form of oceanic energy?

  1. Energy from biomass

  2. Tidal energy

  3. Ocean thermal energy

  4. Solar energy


Correct Option: D

Energy available from the oceans is

  1. OTE

  2. Tidal energy

  3. Sea-waves energy

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D

The oceans cover almost ...... percent of the surface of earth with water and act as a vast collector of ...... energy.

  1. $71$, chemical

  2. $97$, solar

  3. $71$, solar

  4. $17$, hydroenergy


Correct Option: C

Energy available from the oceans is:

  1. OTE

  2. sea-waves energy

  3. tidal energy

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Renewable energy obtained from the ocean is together termed as ocean energy. Thus, ocean energy can be classified into various categories such as ocean thermal energy, tidal energy and wave energy.

The vast amount of sea weeds present in oceans may provide an endless source of

  1. nuclear energy

  2. methane

  3. thermal energy ocen

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B

The energy available due to the difference in the temperature of water at the surface of the ocean and at deeper levels is called

  1. tidal energy

  2. wind energy

  3. solar energy

  4. none of these


Correct Option: D
