In the interests of childrenâs academic achievements and their emotional well-being, the UK government should take this evidence seriously David Whitebread. Earlier this month the Too Much, Too Soon campaign made headlines with a letter calling for a change to the start age for formal learning in schools.
Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. The most common type of hydroelectric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. But hydroelectric power doesn't necessarily require a large dam. Some hydroelectric power plants just use a small canal to channel the river water through a turbine.
Biomass can be burned to produce electricity, or be converted to a gas and used for fuel. Geothermal energy uses hot water or steam from deep beneath the earthâs surface to produce electricity. Hydroelectric power plants use the energy of falling water to spin generator turbines.lectricity can be produced using several kinds of renewable resources. Wind energy can produce electricity in regions where steady winds blow. Giant wind turbines capture the windâs energy and use it to power generators. Biomass is material that is formed from living organisms, such as wood or agricultural wastes.
