Energy from Earths Two Great Fluids in Motion

16 ENERGY FROM EARTH S TWO GREAT FLUIDS IN MOTION 

In Chapter 1, Section 1.6, it was mentioned that the Earth System has two great fluids that are in constant motion, atmospheric air and surface water. The movement of wind in the atmosphere, seawater in waves and tides, and flowing surface water involves huge amounts of potentially cap-turable energy. The harvesting of these renewable energy sources for use in the anthrosphere is discussed here.
