Tide tables can be used to find the predicted times and amplitude of tides at any given locale.]]> 2018-10-04 13:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289126762 How are Tides caused? garjay032 https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289128419 Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.]]> 2018-10-04 13:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289128419 How often do tides occur? garjay032 https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289132620 Because the Earth rotates through two tidal “bulges” every lunar day, coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. It takes six hours and 12.5 minutes for the water at the shore to go from high to low, or from low to high.]]> 2018-10-04 13:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289132620 What are 2 types of tides? garjay032 https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289133159 Types of tides. There are two main tides that are higher or lower than average. They occur twice monthly and are called neap and spring tides. When there is a low tide, the Moon faces the Earth at a right angle to the Sun so the gravitational force of the Moon and Sun work against each other.]]> 2018-10-04 13:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289133159 3 Questions about Tides! garjay032 https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289134610 Q: ¨I wonder how tides work?¨
A: the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans
Q:Can Tides get lower than usual?
A: Yes, these are called Neap Tides. This is when the sun and moon are at the right angle of the Earth.
Q:Are Tidal Waves and Tides the same?
A: No, Tidal waves are usually the results of Earthquakes]]> 2018-10-04 13:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/garjay032/jw5b06z9us8/wish/289134610
