How do tides affect estuaries?
Estuaries are partially enclosed bodies of water where ocean salt water and fresh water mix. Estuaries vary in salt content. When tides rise, their salinity rises. When the tide falls, the estuary has a lower salinity. Some estuaries are protected and are not affected as much as others.
What can tides cause?
Tides are caused by gravity. On the Earth they are a combination of the Sun and the Moon affecting the water. Very strong tides, perhaps on other planets, could cause plates to move and faults to appear in the ground.
How does pollution and humans affect tides?
human and pollutions do not effect the tides, the tides effect pollution okay
What tides does the tropical rainforest have?
Very little tides
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The gravity of the moon and sun causes the earth's tides. The greatest tides are called 'spring' tides which occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. The moon has the greatest effect on our tides because of its proximity.
How salty are estuaries?
Salinity varies within the estuary and depend on other factors such as tides. Estuaries are essentially where freshwater from rivers, streams, etc, meet with saltwater from the ocean. The range of salinity within an estuary is typically between 0-25ppt, and that is between where the mouth of the river ends on to where the ocean begins. PPT stand for parts per thousand, just in case you did not know.
What are 5 abiotic factors for the ocean?
The following are all determined by non-living factors and can affect marine organisms: Temperature Type of soil or rock on ocean floor Salinity Amount of light Water depth (this can change with the tides)
What is the adaptation to cord grass?
Adapted to changes in salinity (salt) and tempature due to changes in tides.

What are some other causes of waves?
Waves are caused by several natural factors. This included tides, along with the moon and gravitational pull. The wind also affects the movement of tides.
What is the study of tides and ocean currents called?
The study of tides, waves, currents and the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere is a part of physical oceanogrpahy. Physical oceanographers study the physical properties of the ocean such as temperature, density, salinity, circulation, currents and tides.
What factors can make tides very even in places that are closer to each other?
Its harry styles dancing to music.
What environmental factors red tide cause?
pH, the addition of nutrients into waterways, still calm waters, upwelling brings nutrients to the surface, slightly increased temperatures, sunlight.... there are many factors that facilitate a red tide or a "harmful algae bloom".
What are the factor affecting the movement of ocean water?
Wind, temperature, salinity, tides and the breaking of waves are some of the factors that affect the movement of ocean water.
What factors can make tides vary?
the moon's revolution around the earth has a major impact on the tides. the sun also has a less great impact on the tides, too. if we had no moon the tides would change greatly
What are the abiotic factors of oysters?
sun wind temperature water tides oxygen predators (eg oyster borer) foot traffic (humans) pollution salinity substrate (rock, seaweed, sand)
