First of all‚ tide is the rise and fall of water caused by gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the oceans of the earth.

Weather and Atmospheric Water Humidity- the amount of water in the air in a particular spot. Relative Humidity- the percentage of water vapor a certain volume of air is holding relative to the max amt it can contain. 80% humidity means that it is holding 80% of the total amt of water that it can hold at that temp. Heat Index- shows what the temperature feels like due to humidity. Dew Point- the point at which air becomes saturated with water. Water will condense from the air as dew‚ if the

The Moon - Introduction Its hard to imagine the history of Earth without our Moon. For as long as man walked this Earth‚ the Moon served as "lesser light for the night" and faithful time-piece. The phases of the Moon were used to help guide the Harvest‚ or help determine the time of the river floods. How our Moon came to existence is still under speculation. There are several possible scenarios: Fission Theory - the Earth spinning so fast during early formation that a piece broke off forming
