What else can I help you with?
Can ships sink during tides?
If they take on water.
What would happen to the tides as a result?
If the moon were to be destroyed there would still be tides. This would be because of the sun still being in assistance and affecting the tides.
Why do ships tied to docks experience two high tides and two low tides each day?
Ships tied to docks experience two high tides and two low tides each day due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans, creating bulges of water. As the Earth rotates, these bulges move, resulting in the rise and fall of water levels, known as tides. Typically, most coastal areas experience a semi-diurnal tide cycle, which means there are two high tides and two low tides approximately every 24 hours. This rhythmic movement affects the water levels at the docks, causing ships to rise and fall with the tides.
Do they have to have a pilot to dock a cruise ship?
Yes, most cruise ships are required to have a local harbor pilot on board when docking. Harbor pilots are experts familiar with local waters and navigational challenges, ensuring safe maneuvering of large vessels in confined spaces like ports. Their knowledge of tides, currents, and port regulations is crucial for a successful docking process.
How tides are helpful to sailors?
the rise in water level allow big ships to enter or leave harbors safely.
What happens to ships that go near Charybdis?
Ships that go near Charybdis who is a sea monster are known to go into a huge whirlpool. Charybdis is a goddess of the tides with triple drawing expulsion.
What job might require the understanding of how tides behave in addition to oceanography?
Fisherman, ships's crew, bridge builders, lifeguard
If the earth didn't rotate would the earth still have tides?
No
How can sun's gravity cause tides on Earth?
Gravity pulls everything but water shows it. I am still looking for tides in a glass of water.
What type of workers do tides affect?
Anyone involved with ships on the sea. This would include fishermen, mariners, and ship repair personnel.
What conditions had to be present for the D-Day invasion to be a success?
The weather had to be good. The tides had to be right for landing ships. The seas had to be fairly calm as many men embarked from large ships into small boats just offshore.
Study of tides?
Oceanographers are scientists who study the tides. They record details such as the measurement of the heights, times and the extent of the rising and falling of tidal waters. This information is vital for the navigation of ships that rely on accurate data about the speed and direction of tidal currents.
