Question

1. which alternative energy source relies on the energy of moving water?

a. hydroelectric power
b. biomass energy
c. wind energy
d. geothermal energy

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Hydroelectric power uses the kinetic energy of moving water (like in rivers, dams) to generate electricity.
• Option b: Biomass energy comes from organic matter (plants, waste), not moving water.
• Option c: Wind energy relies on wind (moving air), not water.
• Option d: Geothermal energy uses heat from the Earth's interior, not moving water.

So the correct option is a as it relies on moving water's energy.

Answer:

a. Hydroelectric power
