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!

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.

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.


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.
