Which of the statements is true about tidal power? A) This technology can work in all coastal areas. B) This technology can cause changes in habitat for certain organisms. C) This technology depends on the temperature of the ocean water. D) This technology is affected by the life activities in the ocean ecosystem.

Respuesta :

This technology can work in all coastal areas.

Answer: B) This technology can cause changes in habitat for certain organisms.

Explanation: By placing facilities which utilize the tidal power and transform it into electricity, the habitats of the organism who used to live where the facilities are now are going to be altered.

It is NOT A because the technology does not work in all coastal areas. This technology relies on TIDE power (force of the tides) and not all coastal areas have strong tides. Furthermore, certain coastal areas have a landscape which is not suitable for the technology (Off a cliff, jagged/rocky areas).

C is incorrect because we are relying on TIDAL power, not the ocean temperature. If this were true, the energy would be called ocean temperature power. Ocean tides are not directly affected by the temperature.

D is incorrect because the life activities in an ocean ecosystem do not have much impact on the flow of water. Rather, the flow of water impacts ocean life.

Sorry if some of these explanations are lackluster. I tried my best to give a decent explanation for each answer. Hope this helps :)))
