Why during the month of September is the UV range so large?

The UV range is large during September due to spring season. It is the time when the ozone depletion is maximum.


How many days pass between the lowest and highest tidal range?

The tidal range varies due to the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, typically cycling through a pattern of spring and neap tides. Spring tides, which have the highest tidal range, occur approximately every two weeks during the full and new moons. Neap tides, which have the lowest tidal range, occur about a week after the spring tides. Therefore, roughly 7 to 14 days pass between the lowest and highest tidal ranges.


The highest tides are called?

Spring tides. These occur when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, causing maximum tidal range.


Which is more powerful spring tide or neap tide?

A tide has no power itself, it is dependant on the moon (mostly). A spring tide has the greatest range, from high to low, because the sun also helps. When the sun and moon are aligned spring tides are produced. When they are at right angles, with respect to the earth, then neap tides are produced. Neap tides have the smallest difference.


The smallest high tides occur when the Moon phase is?

The smallest high tides occur during the first and third quarter Moon phases. This is because the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are acting at right angles to each other, causing them to partially cancel out and resulting in lower tidal range.


What tides occur during the full and new moons?

so called 'spring' tides. this spring has nothing to do with the season that comes after winter. these tides have an increased range with the tide coming in further and going out further compared to so called 'neap' tides.


Which tides have maximum tidal range?

A spring tide has the greatest tidal range. A neap tide has a smaller tidal range.


Why is there always a spring tide at the time of a new moon?

Spring tides occur during the new moon because the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun align, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. During this phase, the sun, moon, and Earth are in a straight line, amplifying the tidal effects. This alignment increases the overall tidal range, leading to the pronounced rise and fall of sea levels known as spring tides.


Are the Allegheny mountains a part of the Appalachian range?

No. They do not, because they arent large enough.


When does the highest tide occur?

Tides are at their highest during the spring. This is because the sun and the moon are opposite of each other and they are both pulling on the water causing the tides to be higher.


How many days pass between the minimum and the maximum of the tidal range in any given range in any given area and why?

The tidal range typically reaches its minimum during neap tides and its maximum during spring tides. These cycles occur approximately every 14-15 days, with spring tides occurring around the full and new moons, while neap tides occur about a week later. Therefore, the time between the minimum and maximum tidal range in any given area is roughly 7-10 days, influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.


When does it make sense to chose a linear function to model a set of data?

If a linear model accurately reflects the measured data, then the linear model makes it easy to predict what outcomes will occur given any input within the range for which the model is valid. I chose the word valid, because many physical occurences may only be linear within a certain range. Consider applying force to stretch a spring. Within a certain distance, the spring will move a linear distance proportional to the force applied. Outside that range, the relationship is no longer linear, so we restrict our model to the range where it does work.
