** given 21 given brainliest **wave and tidal energy projects are possible because of the law of conservation of energy. would they still be possible if the ocean were an isolated system? explain your answer in terms of how matter and energy are exchanged in systems.

The ocean is actually an open system so matter and energy move freely throughout the land, the ocean, and the atomsphere, but if this were an isolated sytem this would be completely different. An isolated sytem does not allow any energy or matter to leave keeping what it has trapped inside its system and does not allow any energy or matter to enter. So if the ocean became an isolated sytem, to try and get energy from it, divers and workers would have to go in and extract the energy from the ocean similarily to what they do now, but it would be harder.
