Tidal Heating: How Moons Stay Alive From Within 🌋🧊” Moons like Io and Europa are heated by gravity, creating volcanoes and possible oceans. #europa #io #tidalheating tidal heating, europa ocean, io volcanoes | Galaxies Uncharted

🔷 Tidal currents – driven by the gravitational forces of the sun and moon – create one of the most predictable sources of renewable energy. Unlike wind and solar, tidal energy can be forecast hundreds of years in advance, making it an essential solution for balancing the grid and providing a stable electricity baseload.​ 💡How does it work?​ Tidal energy technologies harness the movement of water to generate electricity:​ 🔷 Horizontal-axis turbines – work like underwater wind turbines, turning
