High tide Low tide Distance along the beach slope Measure directly Horizontal distance Tidal range vertical distance Slope angle
Measure beach slope using water filled tube: Measure slope distance (hypotenuse of triangle) Measure height of water at both ends difference between short end and long end gives opposite leg of triangle Calculate angle (sine a = opp/hyp) Measure beach slope using water filled tube: Measure slope distance (hypotenuse of triangle) Measure height of water at both ends difference between short end and long end gives opposite leg of triangle Calculate angle (sine a = opp/hyp)
