Question

State any two conditions that are favourable for generation of power from the energy source shown above.

Answer 1

The energy source depicted above is hydroelectric power, and the following two circumstances are conducive to its production:

1. High yearly rainfall and steady river flow offer the required water volume and flow rate for effectively producing hydroelectric electricity in these regions.
2. The best places for hydroelectric power are those that are steep or mountainous because they can accommodate the building of dams, which create the high water pressure required to operate turbines and produce electricity.

Answer 2

Conditions for generation of Hydel power:

1. Perennial or constant flow of water.
2. Large volume of water.
3. Water falling from a great height.
