The Tidal Cycle What forces cause the rising and falling of the ocean tides? How often does the tide change? What environmental factors influence the height of the tides? What do the tidal flats look like at high tide? What do the tidal flats look like at low tide?

What Causes the Tides? Gravitational Pull from the Moon and Tidal Inertia Results in Tidal Wave that Rotates Around the Earth

Changes in the angle of the Moon result in changes in the heights of high and low tides

LUNAR DAY: 24 Hrs + 50 min Result: 2 high tides every 12 hrs + 25 min 2 low tides every 12 hrs + 25 min MOON

TIDAL VARIABILITY: Lunar Tides > Solar Tides Spring Tides = Alignment of Moon & Sun / High Amplitude Exchange Neap Tides = Misalignment of Moon & Sun / Low Amplitude Exchange
