Ocean, Tidal, and Wave Energy: Power from the Sea (Energy Revolution Series)

IThe titles in this series introduce students in grades 3 to 5 to the fast-changing arena of energy production and use. Each book begins with a definition of the energy form being discussed, followed by the challenges associated with that form of energy. The natural movement of water has long been used to create energy. New forms of hydropower are being researched as alternative ways to create clean renewable energy. This remarkable book describes how water flow is being used in tidal and wave energy farms, and how the oceans contain enough heat in the surface water to power the world! Case studies highlight the potential advantages and disadvantages of pursuing these different kinds of power. This Energy Revolution series title provides a well-rounded description of this alternative energy source, through full color photographs and engaging text.
