: 1. Cold water is pumped deep undergroundWater rises and falls inside a chamber due to the waves.: 2. Water is heated as it passes The water forces air to rush in and out of a chamber through rocks undergroundpipes.: 3. The air turns a turbine.: 4. The turbine turns a generator. ====Advantages====*Do not produce pollution.*No fuel costs. ====Disadvantages====*Expensive to build.*Require many of them to generate meaningful amounts of power.*Can only be built on the coast.*Hazardous to boats.*Unreliable because they are dependent on wind.*Damages the habitats of sea creatures. ==Key Stage 4=={{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n7j3nPgLQs}}===Meaning==='''Wave Power''' is an [[Energy Resource|energy resource]] that uses the movement of waves on the water to generate electricity. ===About Wave Power===: [[Wave Power]] is a [[Renewable Energy Resource|renewable energy resource]].: [[Wave Power]] has [[energy]] in the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of water waves. ===Power===[[Wave Power]] can be used to generate electricity.{| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:WaveGeneratorDiagram.png|center|600px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |A [[diagram]] of a [[wave]] generator.|}: 1.
