A dam  is an example of hydroelectric energy used today. Another use of hydroelectric power is a water mill used in greece that uses water to turn the ground wheat into flour.]]> 2019-09-30 14:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391355816 everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391358248 https://www.britannica.com/science/hydroelectric-power

Then the energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water flows downhill. The water then can be used to turn the blades of a turbine that then can generate electricity to peoples houses.]]> 2019-09-30 14:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391364570 everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391368916 Hydroelectricity is commonly used as renewable energy as a source for electricity. 
Approximately 71 percent of all of the renewable electricity generated on Earth is from hydropower or hydroelectricity. China is one of the top producers of hydroelectricity.

It is a renewable energy source that can be replenished by snow and rain.  A negative is that dams can disrupt ecosystems and surrounding communities.  ]]> 2019-09-30 23:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391617949 everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391622566 Big dam projects can harm wildlife, force out residents, and can disrupt rivers. Dams can also prevent fish like salmon from swimming upstream. Dams can change the migration patterns and hurt fish populations.]]> 2019-09-30 23:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391622566 everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391889161 There are three different types of hydroelectric energy plants, the most commonly used one being the  impoundment facility. Inside the impoundment facility is a dam used to control the flow of water stored in a pool or reservoir and when more energy is needed water is released from the dam letting the potential energy turn into kinetic energy.]]> 2019-10-01 14:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391889161 everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391894196 The Three Gorges Dam located din China holds the Yangtze River. The Three Gorges Dam is the largest Hydropower plant in the world, in terms of electricity production. 
The dam is 2,335 meters (7,660 feet) long and 185 meters (607 feet) tall, and has enough generators to produce 22,500 megawatts of power or electricity.]]> 2019-10-01 14:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/ru4zf3xnlam5/wish/391894196
