Hydroelectric dams work by blocking the path of a water source to create an area with water held back by the dam. The dam can then be opened to allow water to be released.. The energy from the moving water is used and transformed into electrical energy. What type of energy does a hydroelectric dam capture as the water passes through?(1 point)ResponsesSound energySound energyNuclear energyNuclear energyMechanical energyMechanical energyLight energy

Answer 1

A hydroelectric dam captures mechanical energy as the water passes through. This mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy using turbines and generators.
