Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water.

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and inertia.

Most coastal areas see two high tides and two low tides every 24 hour period.

As the earth rotates, the moon pulls water towards the side it is on.

This creates a bulge of water closest to the moon.

Because objects in motion want to continue to move in that direction, INERTIA cause the water on the opposite side of earth to bulge.

Two Types of TidesSpring Tide: When the moon is full

or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined

A Spring tide occurs when the moon’s gravity and the sun’s gravity pulls on the water.

At these times high tides are VERY HIGH and low tides are VERY LOW.

Neap Tide: During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other.

These tides usually produce a much smaller difference between high and low tide.
