Answer 5

If I'm not mistaken the word "hydro" means water, so I'm guessing hydro electricity is electricity powered by water?

Answer 6

"Hydro electricity is generated by moving water through turbines, similiarly to how wind energy is generated. To make hydro electric power, water is stopped up using many different available methods of "dams". Large pipes flow through the dam construction and direct water to the turbines which are rotated by the force of the water."

Answer 7

Hydro electricity is electricity created by using hydro powered stations. Electricity is made by turning of massive turbines right?? and those turbines are powered by coals right?? well hydro electricity is just electricity created from turbines WHICH ARE POWERED BY WATER that either been used as physical force (to push the turbines) or as steam (heat energy to give off power)
