It depends which wave you're talking about. There are many different ones,
and the energy they carry has different origins.
-- The energy in ocean waves and sunny-day light waves and heat waves
originates in the sun.
-- The energy in the sound wave emitted by a violin string originates in the
arm muscle of he or she who draws the bow. (Actually in the food she ate
the night before the concert, which ultimately came from the sun.)
-- The energy in a seismic wave originates in the Earth's core.
-- The energy in the waves of golden wheat in the field originates in the sun,
heats the air, and the wind carries it to the wheat.

∙ 10y agoTidal wave energy comes from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. As the water is pulled towards these celestial bodies, it creates tidal movements which can be harnessed to generate electricity using tidal energy technology.

There are no tidal wave power stations.Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
some advantages of tidal energy are, continuous, predictable energy. Another benefit of tidal power is that it is predictable. The gravitational forces of celestial bodies are not going to stop anytime soon.
The tidal wave washed away entire villages along the coast.
Tanganyika Tidal Wave was created in 1989.

Examples of wave energy include ocean waves, tidal currents, and underwater currents. These natural sources of energy can be harnessed to generate electricity using technologies such as wave energy converters and tidal turbines.
Two ways to extract energy from the ocean are through wave energy, using the motion of ocean waves to generate electricity through specialized devices, and tidal energy, harnessing the power of tidal movements to turn turbines and create electricity.

A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.

No, wave power and tidal power are not the same. Wave power generates electricity from the movement of ocean waves, while tidal power generates electricity from the rise and fall of tides caused by gravitational forces from the moon and the sun. Both are forms of renewable energy from the ocean, but they harness different sources of energy.
Tidal energy is harnessed by capturing the energy from the natural rise and fall of ocean tides. Tidal turbines are placed underwater and as the tides move in and out, they drive the turbines which then generate electricity. This energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power.
