What can you Compare and contrast about flood and ebb current?
Flood currents occur when the tide is rising and water is moving towards the shore, while ebb currents occur when the tide is falling and water is moving away from the shore. Flood currents typically bring in nutrient-rich water and are associated with higher water levels, while ebb currents can be stronger and are associated with lower water levels. Both currents can influence navigation, sediment transport, and marine life in coastal areas.
What is the difference between a flood and a ebb?
These words are used to describe the tides. A flood tide is incoming on the beach, and an ebb tide is outgoing from the beach.
Is flood tide a tidal current?
Yes. Flood tide is the incoming tide. Ebb tide is the outgoing.
Is flood-tide a tidal current?
Yes. Flood tide is the incoming tide. Ebb tide is the outgoing.
What is the connection between tides and moon phases?
The attraction from the moon, and less from the sun, causes the waters of the world to form the tides of flood and ebb.
The Moon's gravitational pulls affects on what?
The Moon (and the Sun) cause the flood and ebb of the oceans' tides.
When does a flood tide occur?
'Flood tide' is the expression used for the incoming, or rising tide. The opposite is 'Ebb tide' when it goes back out again. You would have to refer to the tide tables, for the day, in your area of interest. Flood tide is the time between low tide and the next high tide.

What does the word ebbed mean?
Ebb - the flowing back of the tide as the water returns to the sea ( opposed to flood, flow). Hope this helped!
What do tides do to sunlight?
Tides are unaffected by sunlight. The gravity attraction from the Moon and the Sun, plus the rotation of the Earth is what affects the ebb and flood of the tides.
Does The moon cause natural disasters?
The moon affects the flood and ebb of the tides, and doesn't cause natural disasters. It is usually extreme weather that does that.
