1.0 What Causes the Tides Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon. Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of earth’s ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the moon and the sun acting on the earth . Tides cause changes in the depth of the sea and produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams‚ making prediction of tides important for coastal navigation. The strip of seashore

IB Mathematics Standard Level Portfolio Assignment Task I Tide Modeling Kelvin Kwok In this modeling assignment‚ I will develop a model function for the relationship between time of day and the height of the tide. I will first show the data in a table form copied from the assignment sheet. Then I will use the data to construct a scatter graph of time against height‚ then I will develop a function that models the behavior noted in the graph analytically‚ and describe any variables‚ parameters

The How and Why of Oceanic Tides I have always been fascinated with the tides of Earth’s oceans. Being from the coastal state of Massachusetts‚ I consider the beach my summer home. As someone who has spent so much time near the ocean‚ I’ve grown up knowing tide schedules‚ when the best times to surf are‚ and other tidal trivia alike‚ but up until now‚ I had no idea what caused the tide levels to change. In my research‚ I’ve discovered that high and low tides are mainly caused by the gravitational

Show me your level! Q: What did one tide-pool say to the other tide-pool? A: Show me your mussels!!! Anyone who has seen the ocean has seen a tide. There is more to tides than the rising and falling of the sea or the fact that they have mussels. They are when the ocean reaches a level along the shores. They are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. Tides can be measured and predicted. Sine Saloum in Senegal‚ for example‚ experiences lots of tidal ranges but at a particular time

Tide Graph: Life’s a Beach The ocean is something that has mesmerized me since I was young. I used to sit in the car at our local beach and stare into the open water and watch the waves roll by. My dad would patiently explain the dynamics of the ocean‚ making sure to warn me of the many hazards involved. Then I would watch as my father and all the “uncles” fish and surf. Although I spent a lot of time on my own‚ I enjoyed waiting‚ watching and observing. So when my brother mentioned that he found

The Earth experiences tides in its oceans‚ by gravitational interaction between the Earth‚ Moon and Sun. The Moon is the biggest factor of tides occurring. It has 2.2 more power on tides than the sun does. The Moon and earth apply a gravitational pull on each other‚ and since most things on earth is pinned down they stay in place. But‚ the oceans being fluid can be pulled toward the moon causing tides.And since the earth is rotating while this is happening‚ two tides occur each day. While the Sun

Tides are the periodic rise and falling of large bodies of water. The word tide is a term used to define the alternating rise and fall in sea level relevant to the land produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. Winds and currents move the surface of the water causing waves. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side because the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon and
