Tides

35) The moon's gravitational pull and the rotation (spinning) of the earth cause ocean water to bulge, producing tides.

36) List the three things that cause high and low tides to form. gravity of the moon

36) List the three things that cause high and low tides to form. centripetal force of the rotating Earth

36) List the three things that cause high and low tides to form. gravitational pull of the sun

37)Tides cycle as the Moon rotates around the Earth and as the position of the Sun changes. Throughout the day the sea level is constantly rising or falling. 

38) The tidal range is the difference in sea level between low tide and high tide.

38) The tidal range will vary in different locations depending on the location of the Sun and the Moon as well as the topography of the shore line. 

39) Draw a diagram showing the following: tidal range, high tide, low tide

40) High tide is the point in the tidal cycle where the sea level is at its highest.

41) Low tide is the point in the tidal cycle where the sea level is at its lowest.

42. A Spring Tide is an extremely high tide and extremely low tide formed when the sun, moon and Earth are lined in a straight line.

43. Spring Tides occur at the New Moon and Full Moon phases of the moon.

44) Draw TWO pictures of the sun, moon, and Earth during a spring tide.

45) A Neap Tide is moderate high tide and low tide formed when the sun and moon form a 90 degree angle with the Earth.

46) Neap Tides occurs at the First Quarter and Third Quarter phases of the moon.

47) Neap tides have high tides that are lower than average and the low tides are higher than the average.

48) Spring Tides are extreme high and low tides while Neap Tides are moderate high and low tides.  

49) Draw TWO pictures of the sun, moon, and Earth during a neap tide.
