===Meaning===
'''Tidal''' is an [[Energy Resource|energy resource]] which uses [[tide]]s tides to generate electricity.
===About Tidal===
: '''Tidal''' is a [[Renewable Energy Resource|renewable energy resource]].
: '''Tidal''' has [[energy]] in the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] of water that is being pulled by the [[The Moon|moons]] [[Gravity|gravitational]] pull.
: [[Tide]]s Tides happen twice a day. Once when the [[The Moon]] is directly overhead and once when the [[The Moon]] is on the opposite side of the [[Earth]].
===Power===

: 1. As the [[tide]] changes water passes through the pipes in the [[tidal]] barrage.: 2. The water causes turbines to turn.: 3. The turbines spin a generator which makes [[electricity]]. ====Advantages====*Do not produce pollution.*Very reliable (high tide occurs twice a day).*No fuel costs.*Power output can be varied by opening and closing sluice gates to control the water flow. ====Disadvantages====*Cost to build is quite high.*Prevent access to boats.*Tidal height varies throughout the year.*Damages habitats by not allowing the natural flow of the tides. ==Key Stage 4=={{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IM0fKIBGag}}===Meaning==='''Tidal''' is an [[turbineEnergy Resource|energy resource]]s which uses tides to turngenerate electricity. ===About Tidal===: '''Tidal''' is a [[Renewable Energy Resource|renewable energy resource]].: '''Tidal''' has [[energy]] in the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] of water that is being pulled by the [[The Moon|moons]] [[Gravity|gravitational]] pull.: 3Tides happen twice a day.
