16.2: Waves and Tides

Waves and Tides Wave Characteristics • Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind. • The wave height is the vertical distance between the trough and crest. • The wavelength is the horizontal distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs. The crest is the top of the wave. The trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Waves and Tides Tides are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean surface. Ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction exerted upon Earth by the moon and, to a lesser extent, by the sun.

Waves and Tides Tide Cycle • Tidal range is the difference in height between successive high and low tides. • Spring tides are tides that have the greatest tidal range, moon and sun are aligned. • Neap tides are tides that have the lowest tidal range, moon at right angles to the sun

Earth–Moon–Sun Positions and the Tides

Waves and Tides Tidal Patterns • Three main tidal patterns exist worldwide: diurnal tides, semidiurnal tides, and mixed tides. Diurnal Tide – One high tide and one low tide daily – East coast of Florida Semi-diurnal tide – Two high tides and two low tides daily – North Carolina Coast Atlantic Ocean Mixed tides – a mix between the tides… in areas between where diurnal and semi-diurnal tides occur – Gulf Coast of Florida from the Keys to Apalachicola
