Answer:

Hydroelectric

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydroelectric energy is usually generated by constructing a dam on a river, such that the water which flows through the dam is used to power turbines that generate electricity.

  • The quantity of energy that can be generated depends on the volume of water available and the difference in height between the water’s source and its outflow.
