Extraction
-Where there is a sufficient amount of moving water, the water can be harnessed for its power.
-The moving water pushes turbines, creating energy for the generator to harness.
-Prime examples of Hydroelectric plants are Niagra Falls, the Hoover Dam, the Grand Coulee, and the Boulder Dam.

Process
-The water controlled by a dam moves the turbines connected to a metal shaft in the generator. This generator is the motor that produces electricity.
-Dams are crucial because they control the motion of the water.
-The movement of turbines generate energy for the motor located in the generator.
-The generator stores the electricity.

Transportation
-After the hydroelectricity is created and stored in the hydroplant's generator, it is then transffered to various homes and businesses via long distance power lines.
