Ocean Tides

weather depth

No, you should NOT try to you swim against a rip current or rip tide. You will NOT usually make it back to shore. Instead, you should swim perpendicular to the rip. It will carry you down shore, but you'll get to shore safely.

Coral reefs are not significantly affected by tides because they are typically found in areas with lower tidal fluctuations. Tides can influence water movement and nutrient availability around coral reefs, but the impact is minimal compared to factors like temperature and water quality.

Oceanographers are scientists who study the tides. They record details such as the measurement of the heights, times and the extent of the rising and falling of tidal waters. This information is vital for the navigation of ships that rely on accurate data about the speed and direction of tidal currents.

Tides are caused by both the Sun and The Moon. Tides are the result of both Gravity and momentum.

Gravity attracts objects. This causes water on the Earth to rise up on the side of Earth facing the Sun and the Moon.

Momentum tries to continue in the same direction. This causes water on the opposite side from the Sun and the Moon to rise up and keep going in the direction it was going as Earth turned away in response to the Sun's and the Moon's gravity.

The Earth is also rotating. This brings different areas of the surface into line with the directions of gravity and momentum. To observers on the Earth, it appears that the tides rise and fall two times each day. But actually, the Earth's rotation has carried the person into the higher or lower regions caused by gravity and momentum.

Since the Moon is orbiting the Earth, and the Earth is orbiting the Sun, sometimes there is an alignment between all these things. This causes the highest tides because the tides of both Sun and Moon will join together.

The lowest tides occur when the Earth is at a 90° angle between the Sun and Moon. The tides of the Moon and Sun are at that time subtracting from each other.

They change based on where the moon is relative to the Earth. Believe it or not, the Moon's gravity effects Earth. The way you can see that is by where the tides are. A low tide is produced when the moon is closest to that body of water (or farthest, see link).

The tidal period (length of time between successive high or low tides) is about 12 hours and 25.2 minutes, exactly half a tidal lunar day. Thus the period between the high tide and the low tide is 6 hours and 12.6 minutes.

This means that if it was high tide at noon, the low tide will be at 12.6 minutes past 6 in the evening of the same day.

The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.

Yes. Tidal bulges occur on both the near side and the far side of the affected object and are largely indistinguishable from one another.

Tide tables contain the times of all the high tides and low tides for a month or year

Tide tables tell boaters whether there will be enough water to navigate in. They tell you when high tide is or Low tide. If your boat requires three feet of water to operate and at low tide there is only two feet the boater has to wait until the tide comes in.

The highest tides have been recorded along the Bay of Fundy. This body of water is between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick provinces in Canada. The tides show a difference of up to 42 feet in a 12 hour span. Really amazing to sit on the shore, have drink by the fire, and then see the fire go out when the tide changes. My vote is Hall's Harbour Nova Scotia.

Water depth

because the land is so dry that it can not absorb all of the water. Therefore causing erosion.

acceptance

This is called the tidal range. It varies with the phases of the moon and the time of year.

It is a flood tide when the sea is coming in, and an ebb tide when the sea is going out.

Yes. Flood tide is the incoming tide. Ebb tide is the outgoing.

Tide pools can be the size of a backyard pond to the size of 2 semi trucks! Tide pools have many sizes and many widths.

It happens because the Sun pulls on the oceans via the force of gravity, which depends on distance and is stronger on the side facing the Sun and weaker on the opposite side. This causes bulk movements of the water and hence the tides. The Moon also has a lesser effect that gives the difference between spring tides and neaps.

It forms a 90 degree angle on a line drawn form the sun to the center of the Earth.

Flood tide is when the ocean's water slowly rises to reach high tide.

If you mean Pokemon Sapphire then check the Shoal Cave, When she dries it's gonna be low tide, When she's high then it's high tide!
