(N/A) Solar energy is stored in the oceans in the forms of $Ocean \ Thermal \ Energy$ $(OTE)$,$Wave \ Energy$,and $Tidal \ Energy$.
Two forms that can be harnessed to obtain energy in a usable form are:
$1$. $Ocean \ Thermal \ Energy$ $(OTE)$: This is harnessed by utilizing the temperature difference between the warm surface water and the cold deep water to run turbines for electricity generation.
$2$. $Wave \ Energy$: This is harnessed by using the kinetic energy of waves to move floating devices or air columns,which in turn drive turbines to generate electricity.
