Resources/wave energy-Holly Barney
There are several different ways to use our environments resources to benefit us as a society. As I spoke of before one of the main ways is through coal, but there are several other ways too. We can use things turbines That harvest the air or we can use wave energy to power towns. What is wave energy? Well you’re about to find out. Here are a couple of diagrams to explain some of it.
Ocean waves carry a lot of energy and the waves on the coast of the United States by themselves are 2.64 trillion kilowatthours which is about 64% of the United States electricity in 2018. That’s a large amount of power from just our coast alone. There are several different ways to catch the wave energy such as using the waves made by wind at the top or anchoring devices to the ocean floor to keep a constant flow of energy. If you would like more information feel free to read either article on how we can use this to help our environment and society.
I really liked how you put a diagram down to show and describe what wave energy is and how we can use this environmental resource as a beneficiary to us as a society. I also like how you chose good quality diagrams which allows us to see the process of each step and how every thing functions as one big unit.
ReplyDeleteI also liked how you stated facts about the United States electricity consumption in 2018 and even included two articles in which we can find new ways to help the environment and society.
I really liked how you tied this blog post into your last post!! This made me want to go back to your previous post and read it!! iI really liked all the information that you have presented. Also the diagrams where a great attention grabber and very helpful to be able to see a diagram that went along with your information!!
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a such thing al wave energy, but I did not not know exactly how it worked so I like the pictures that you put up and the information that you used was very helpful, and I never really thought about it our ocean literally moves and makes waves everyday.
ReplyDeleteYes, very cool. I think a few place in Europe are developing this more.
