Ocean tides are best descibed as?
Ocean tides are the rising and falling of the sea level caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's water bodies. Tides occur in a cyclical pattern due to the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational forces of celestial bodies. They vary in height and timing based on the location and the phase of the moon.
ARE the tides predictable and cyclic?
Yes
Are tides predictable or irregular?
irregular
How are waves and tides predictable?
Tides are created by the known and predictable gravitational pull of the sun and moon in their relationship to the earth. Tides are also affected by unpredictable forces of nature (winds, storms, river runs, atmospheric pressure changes). An understanding of the forces causing ocean tides is complex. Generally, there will be 2 high tides and 2 low tides every 24 hours occuring approximately 50 minutes later each day. During periods of full moon or new moon high tides are usually higher than normal and low tides are usually lower than normal. During periods of the first quarter and last quarter the high tides and the low tides are usually less than normal.
What controls ocean tides?
the moon is the main factor behind the oceans tides.

irregular
ARE the tides predictable and cyclic?

Are ocean currents predictable?
yes ocean currents are predictable
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.

A rotational force of Earth-moon system causes a what in the ocean?
The rotational force of the Earth-moon system causes tidal bulges in the ocean. This force creates a gravitational pull that leads to the rise and fall of ocean levels in a predictable pattern known as tides.
What is solar tides?
solar tides are tides thst effect the ocean tides
What is the large body affects the ocean's tides?
The moon's pull on gravity affects the ocean's tides.
What are the 2 gravitational bodies that affects tide?
Well there are three (don't forget the Earth!) the other two are the Sun and the Moon.
Are tides predictable?
Tidal power is not predictable becaus eif it was we would not have natural desasters such as tsunamis, we would be fully equipt if we could predict when they occur!
What is an advantage of a tidal generator over a wind generator?
Tides happen with predictable regularity.
