Tidal power harnesses the energy from ocean tides by converting it into electricity. It works by building structures like dams and turbines near coastal areas that capture the kinetic energy of the tides flowing in and out caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. As the tides rise behind dams, gates open to allow water in and then close as the tides recede, trapping water in basins at a higher level where traditional hydropower technologies can generate electricity from the potential energy.

2. Tidal power, also called tidal energy,
is a form of hydropower that
converts the energy of tides into
useful forms of power - mainly
electricity.

3. Who is created:
-Tidal power is taken from the Earth's oceanic
tides.
- Tidal forces are periodic variations in gravitational
attraction exerted by celestial bodies
-These forces create corresponding motions or
currents in the world's oceans.
-

4. -Due to the strong attraction to the oceans, a
bulge in the water level is created, causing a
temporary increase in sea level.
-When the sea level is raised, water from the
middle of the ocean is forced to move toward the
shorelines, creating a tide.

5. The dam includes a gate that opens to
allow current to flow in the basin, the
gate is closed then as the sea level
drops, traditional technologies of
hydropower can be used to generate
electricity from water high in the basin.
