To compare wind and tides, you can look at their impact on coastal areas such as erosion, flooding, and sediment transport. Wind affects surface currents and waves, while tides are caused by gravitational forces from the moon and sun. Understanding their different mechanisms and effects can help in assessing their influence on coastal environments.

What are spring tides and neap tides in patterns governed by?
the sun, moon and wind
What mainly causes the ocean tides on earth?
mostly the moon but the wind determines the direction it flows
Compare waves and tides?
Tides are the rise and fall of sea level that is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth while Waves are actually energy that moves across the surface of the water.
What causes the Arctic Ocean to have tides?
The tides in the Arctic Ocean are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. The water level rises and falls due to the gravitational attraction of these celestial bodies, creating high and low tides. Wind patterns and the shape of the coastline can also influence the tides in the Arctic Ocean.
How does wind effect currents and tides?
While the Earth's rotation plays a role in wind and ocean currents, it is a somewhat indirect one. The primary factor that affects the formation of winds is differences in atmospheric pressure, caused by differences in incoming solar radiation (insolation). The rotation of the Earth creates what is known as the Coriolis force. Since the Earth is rotating beneath the wind, the path it follows becomes a curve. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Earth rotates counterclockwise so the wind is deflected to the right. The Southern Hemisphere rotates clockwise deflecting the wind to the left. Regardless, the Coriolis effect only influences the direction of the wind, not its speed.
How does wind surfing affect tides?
The sport of wind surfing does not affect tides.

the waters wind is in the tides waves
What are spring tides and neap tides in patterns governed by?
the sun, moon and wind
What two things causes the tides?
Wind and temperature case tides. The hotter the temperature and faster the wind, the bigger the tide would be.
How does wind clouds tides and wave actions relate?
because of wind

Are waves created by the moon?
No but the tides are. Tides are created from the moon's gravitational pull of the seas. Waves are created by wind.
What is the cause of waves currents and tides?
the wind and shifting of the earth.
What are all the ocean and sea waves?
waves are moving tides that a caused by wind, which the tides go bigger while moving
What influences your tides?
wind i think not a hundred percent sure anyway
What are 4 reneweble energy sources?

Does wind effects tides?
Yes that's why sometimes their has been some high tides that hasn't been as high or higher than before
