Some disadvantages of water energy include the high initial cost of building hydropower plants, disruption of aquatic ecosystems, displacement of communities living near dam sites, and potential for water scarcity in regions where large amounts of water are used for energy production.

Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
What happens to energy and matter when rowing a boat?
When rowing a boat, the rower converts chemical energy from their body into mechanical energy to propel the boat forward. As the oars move through the water, they displace water molecules, transferring some of their kinetic energy to the water. Some energy is also lost as heat due to friction between the oars and the water. Overall, energy is conserved, but some of it is dissipated in the form of heat.
Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
Heat energy. This absorbed energy warms the land and water, leading to an increase in temperature.
What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?
A hydroelectric dam primarily harnesses potential energy from the water stored in a reservoir behind it. As the water flows through the dam and turns turbines, some of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.
What energy transformations occur in a stove heating a pot of water up to boiling?
In a stove heating a pot of water, electrical energy is converted to thermal energy as the stove’s heating element produces heat. The thermal energy transfers to the pot and water, raising their temperatures. As the water boils, some of the thermal energy is converted to kinetic energy in the form of water vapor.

What are some energy sources that offer alternatives to fossil fuels?
water power, geothermal energy, solar energy
How do you convert water into energy?
If you mean hydraulic energy, you don't really "convert water to energy". If the water is in a higher position, it has more energy (potential energy); when it falls down, this potential energy is converted to some other type of energy.
Some hot water heaters convert electrical energy into what?
kinetic & heat energy
How does water supply energy?
Usually you would use the water's potential energy - the fact that the water is at a certain height, and can provide energy by falling down. It need not be water - it just so happens that (1) in some places there are large amounts of water available that has potential energy (as in a lake in the mountains); and (2) it is relatively easy to convert that potential energy to other types of energy.
What three things are products of cellular respiration?
38 ATP CO2 and H2O
What are some examples of renewable resourses?
wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal waves
What are some sources of hydroelectric energy?
That would be water. Water from rivers being very popular with the hydroelectric dams. Storing its potential energy behind the dam.
