Hydro-electric power generation
The diagram shows the process of hydro-electric power generation.
At the beginning of the diagram we can observe a well-known process, which is the water cycle circle, the same thing we can learned at school.
First, the sun heats up water from the seas, then the evaporated water is condensated condenses and forms clouds., These clouds get absorb more evaporated water until they become too heavy, are too much fulled and then they burst into rain.
This rain falls back goes into rivers and seas again. In this case, it goes to a reservoir, which recieves also receives also water from a pump.
The reservoir has a dam, which is controlled by an open/close valve. When this valve opens the dam, water goes trough a turbine, in which electricity is produced. After this, water goes to through the pump and again to the reservoir.
After being produced by the turbine, electricity travels trough high voltage cables, helped by attached to electric towers, and ends up in a transformer station. From there electricity is carried by underground cables to houses, industries factories, hospitals, schools and everywhere else.
