Question

Assertion (A): It easy to harness the tidal energy.

Reason (R): Massive amounts of water in the oceans move in extremely predictable patterns.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

It is easy to harness tidal energy because massive amounts of water in the oceans move in extremely predictable patterns, driven by gravitational pull of the moon and sun, making the energy reliable and harnessable. This predictability makes tidal energy easy to harness despite limited suitable sites.
