What is a Tide?
• A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level
![Page 3: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun make the tides.

• The Sun is so much larger than the Moon but has about ½ of the power compared to the Moon on tides…WHY?
• The Moon is closer to Earth

The Types of Tides:

1. Spring Tides• The Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line.
![Page 7: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. Spring Tides• Come once every two weeks.
• During a full and new moon phase
![Page 8: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Spring Tides• Highest High Tides and Lowest Low Tides
• Why?
![Page 9: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Gravitational Force – the force that pushes towards the center of rotation
• Centrifugal Force - the force that pushes a body away from the center of rotation.

2. Neap Tides • When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at right
angles.

2. Neap Tides• Happens about twice a month
• Happens at the 1st and 3rd quarter Moon Phase

2. Neap Tides• Tidal Range is the smallest.
• Lowest High Tides and Highest Low Tides
• Why?

Now For a Brain Pop on Tides

Tidal Cycles
• There are 3 different tidal cycles; this is how many high tides and how many low tides there are per 24 hour period
![Page 17: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tidal Cycles – 3 types
![Page 18: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Diurnal Tidal Cycle• One high tide and one low tide per 24 hours
• Uncommon – areas near Gulf of Mexico
![Page 19: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. Semidiurnal Tidal Cycle
• Two identical high tides and two identical low tides in one tidal cycle
east coast of USA
![Page 20: Tides. What is a Tide? A tide is the rise and fall of the sea level](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697c00d1a28abf838cc99cf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3. Mixed Semidiurnal Tidal Cycle
• 2 High and 2 Low tides – all of different heights. West coast of USA
