What causes tidal changes?
the tides are not affected by seasonal changes
Why are they no longer called tidal waves?
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
Witch tides have maximum tidal range?
Spring tides have a greater tidal range than neap tides.
Which tides have maximum tidal range?
A spring tide has the greatest tidal range. A neap tide has a smaller tidal range.
What are tide currents?
Tidal currents are not quite the same thing as tides. Tidal currents are horizontal movements of water caused by the tides.
What type of currents does a manatee experience?
The normal tidal currents of incoming and outgoing tides.
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.
What has the author W Bell Dawson written?

What percentage of tidal energy is used in Ontario?

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.
What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
Witch tides have maximum tidal range?
Spring tides have a greater tidal range than neap tides.
Are tides influenced by the moon or gravitation?
It's infulenced by Tidal Forces. The Moon mainly effects tides because they have strong tidal forces due to the fact that it is the closest moon or planet (as far as we know) to the Earth.
What causes tides but not waves and currents?
The gravity of the Sun and the Moon causes tides. Waves are caused by the wind. Currents have a variety of causes, but differential heating of different parts of the Earth by the Sun, modified by the coriolis effect of the turning Earth is the main one.
