-The biggest Hydroelectric power station in the world is the three gorges dam in China
-Hydroelectricity traps the kinetic energy from the moving water ]]> 2019-09-30 14:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391349166 How It's Being Used jackson_doremus00 https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391360762 -China is the most common producer of hydroelectricity followed by Canada, Brazil, and the United States
-Big power generators have been placed inside dams so the moving water will generate electricity for the generators to send to homes and businesses  ]]> 2019-09-30 14:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391360762 Diagram of how hydroelectricity is generated jackson_doremus00 https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391362868 2019-09-30 14:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391362868 jackson_doremus00 https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391368229 2019-09-30 14:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391368229 Sources jackson_doremus00 https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391372431 http://earth.rice.edu/mtpe/geo/geosphere/hot/energyfuture/hydroelectricity.html

-Dams take up space in habitats  
-High investment costs
Hydroelectric Energy depends on rainfall for the energy
-Sometimes the dams make changes in reservoir and stream water quality]]> 2019-09-30 14:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391374150 Advantages of Hydroelectric Energy jackson_doremus00 https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391900706 -Fuel in never burned which creates no pollution from Hydroelectric Energy
-Energy for the generators and dam comes from Hydroelectric Energy
-Hydro power plays a huge role in reducing greenhouse gases
-With Hydroelectric Energy there are low operations and maintenance costs for the dam to run]]> 2019-10-01 14:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_doremus00/xwliaex30dwa/wish/391900706
