Tidal Bulges
1. Right ascension and also declination is just like longitude and latitude because they are all used for specific location purposes. As people on the ground use longitude and latitude to find things on earth, scientists and astronomers use right ascension and declination to find things in the sky.
2. The North Pole is north 90 degrees latitude and the South Pole is south 90 degrees latitude. There is no longitude for either the south or North Pole because neither one can be given a value.

7. Tidal bulges cause a normal average of two low and high tides within a day but this is not always the case. It mainly depends on your location and the location of the moon. If the moons gravitational force is strong in the location from earth then it will cause a high tide as it pulls the ocean to it.

When discussing North America the distance from the earth and sun does not matter. What actually matters is the overall amount of rays that makes it to North America and their temperature. During the winter the rays are much colder compared to the rays in the summer. In the winter the rays are somewhere in the middle of twenty and thirty degrees where as in the summer they are between seventy and eighty degrees. With the changes of the season one can actually realize the time difference that involves the sun. As the seasons change, the amount of sun that we can see and feel becomes wither longer or

    A constant theme in the United States in the legal system is that criminals should be punished and the reasons for their crimes are rarely addressed. The Ocean Tides program is an innovative system rather than punishing juveniles it is an approach that hopes to rehabilitate adjudicated boys in Rhode Island within a year. Typically the more severe a crime is, the longer the criminal is sent away for. At the Ocean Tides program, 1 year is retrospectively the time that is used to help criminals readjust so once they complete the program their behavior will be better. The history of things begins on a dark road and that is people seek change, which for the juvenile system ultimately began in 1961.…

    12. Latitudes are the angular distance of a point on the earth that are north and south of the equator and run east and west. Parallels are the lines that connect this points running east and west and divide up the earth into equal parts. These lines help show the different climate regions of the earth. The further away from the equator you get, north and south, the colder the climate. Longitude is the angular distance of a point on the earth that is east or west from the prime meridian and runs north and south. A meridian is the line running north and south and the go from the North Pole to the South Pole. These lines converge on the poles.…

    Tide Waves Research Paper

    At this time the high tides are higher than normal and the low tides are lower thn normal. This is known as a spring tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (but they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both, make the tides much stronger. During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles causing the bulges to cancel each other out. As a result there is a much smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are very weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one…

    Ohio is warmer in the summer than in the winter because it is closer to the sun due to Earth rotating on a tilted axis while making revolutions around the sun. This axis that the Earth rotates on makes hemispheres of Earth closer or farther to the sun during a year, or revolution, that causes our seasons. For example in the beginning of the revolution, the Northwestern hemisphere is farthest from the sun, thus it is cold, giving us Winter. As we make our revolution around the sun, the Northwestern hemisphere becomes closer to the sun as the opposite (Southeastern) hemisphere moves away from the Sun, it becomes warmer, thus giving us summer. Since we are always making revolutions around the sun, the seasons will continue changing. This…

    First, we must define New Zealand’s location. This is done by determining its absolute location and relative location. The absolute location of a place is determined by its latitude and longitude. Latitude lines measure distances north and south of the equator, while longitude measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. The absolute location for New Zealand is as follows:…

    Tidal entrainment is the idea that a separate internal clock, linked to the ebb and flow of tides, guides aspects of the behavioral repertoire in some organisms. For instance, the lunar cycle exerts effects on bristle worms regarding reproduction. Other examples of organisms suggested or shown to be tidally entrained include sea turtles, coral, and grunion.…
