What is Ocean Thermal Energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1) Heat from the sun is absorbed by the water on the surface of ocean, but at deeper levels of ocean, the temperature is very less.
2) So, there is temperature difference between the water "at the surface of ocean" and at "deep levels".
3) This difference in temperature is called Ocean Thermal Energy.
