HYDROELECTRIC+CHRIS+ZIM+AND+PA

1.There are factories that convert the energy of falling water into the flow of electricity. They use waterfalls and dams to raise the height of rivers to get the drop they need for the water. The water then passes through turbines that convert the energy of the falling water into electricity. Then the electricity goes into power lines to be transported to towns and cities.

2. The pros of hydroelectric energy are that there is no pollution to harm the environment, burning fossil fuels is not needed to produce hydroelectric energy, and building this type of energy plant in not very costly. They are also good for storing water.

3. Hydroelectric energy plants are bad at times because they can change the local environment to a great extent. The natural habitats are changed and local plants and animals may be affected. Also these energy plants require a reservoir that can cause flooding in local neighborhoods.

4. The most hydroelectric energy plants are found in China, Canada, and Brazil.
