After of the end of lesson, the learner * Know The definition of tide. * Know The definition of tide. * Can describe the cause of tide. * Can classify of tides?

Look at the pictures

Those of you who have spent some time on the beach have probably noticed that the water level of the ocean does not stay the same all day long. Although waves continually wash the shore, the actual water level changes as the day passes.

It rises for a period of hours until it reaches its highest level, and then it begins to fall, or recede, to its lowest level. This rise and fall of the ocean is known as the tide. Its highest and lowest levels are, of course called high and low tides. It rises for a period of hours until it reaches its highest level, and then it begins to fall, or recede, to its lowest level.

Tides – What are they? Tides are daily changes in the level of ocean water. Tides are daily changes in the level of ocean water. They are the periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water. They are the periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water. I wonder how often this periodic rise and fall happens each day? I wonder how often this periodic rise and fall happens each day?

What causes tides? What moves ocean water? Wind Wind Earthquakes Earthquakes Plate tectonics Plate tectonics The dominant force that moves ocean water is the gravitational forces from both the sun and the moon. The dominant force that moves ocean water is the gravitational forces from both the sun and the moon.

Early thoughts about what caused the tides. Some believed the earth was a living animal and the tides a result of its breathing. Some believed the earth was a living animal and the tides a result of its breathing. Others, who thought the ocean’s waters were the earth’s blood, decided the tides were its pulse, caused by the beating of its great heart. Others, who thought the ocean’s waters were the earth’s blood, decided the tides were its pulse, caused by the beating of its great heart.

Early thoughts about what caused the tides. Early followers of the religious prophet Muhammad believed that the rise and fall of the waters were caused when the “Angel of the Sea” placed his foot in and out of the ocean. Early followers of the religious prophet Muhammad believed that the rise and fall of the waters were caused when the “Angel of the Sea” placed his foot in and out of the ocean. Primitive natives thought the tides were a sign of a sea god’s anger and made human sacrifices to please him.

The Lure of the Moon The relationship between the phases of the moon and the tides was discovered more than 2,000 years ago! The relationship between the phases of the moon and the tides was discovered more than 2,000 years ago! People of the time knew the moon had something to do with the tides, but they couldn’t explain why. People of the time knew the moon had something to do with the tides, but they couldn’t explain why.

Sir Isaac Newton to the Rescue! Newton’s Universal Gravitation theory helped to explain how the gravity of the moon (and the sun) were related to tides. Newton’s Universal Gravitation theory helped to explain how the gravity of the moon (and the sun) were related to tides.

What causes tides? The gravity of the moon pulls on everything on the Earth. The gravity of the moon pulls on everything on the Earth. The moon’s gravitational pull on liquids is much more noticeable than on solids. The moon’s gravitational pull on liquids is much more noticeable than on solids. Why? Because liquids move more easily than solids. Why? Because liquids move more easily than solids.

What causes tides? How often tides occur and the difference in tidal levels depend on the position of the moon as it revolves around the Earth. How often tides occur and the difference in tidal levels depend on the position of the moon as it revolves around the Earth. The moon’s pull is strongest on the part of the Earth directly facing the moon. The moon’s pull is strongest on the part of the Earth directly facing the moon.

High Tide The part of the ocean directly facing the moon, bulges towards the moon. The part of the ocean directly facing the moon, bulges towards the moon. There is a corresponding bulge on the opposite side of the Earth. There is a corresponding bulge on the opposite side of the Earth. These bulges are called high tide. These bulges are called high tide.

Low Tide When high tides occur, water is drawn away from the area between the high tides, which causes low tides to occur. When high tides occur, water is drawn away from the area between the high tides, which causes low tides to occur.

How often is there a change in tides? Try to figure it out... High tides happen on opposite sides of the Earth. High tides happen on opposite sides of the Earth. The Earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours. The Earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours. How many high tides would any one place in the ocean experience each day? How many high tides would any one place in the ocean experience each day?

Answer The periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water happens... The periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water happens... Twice each day! Twice each day!

What effect does the sun have on tides? The sun is much larger than the moon. The sun is much larger than the moon. The sun is farther away from the Earth than the moon. The sun is farther away from the Earth than the moon. Q: Which one (the sun or the moon) do you think has a bigger effect on tides? A: The moon, just because it is closer.

Tidal Variations Tidal Range = the difference in levels of ocean water at high tide and low tide. Tidal Range = the difference in levels of ocean water at high tide and low tide. Tidal ranges vary greatly due to the combined forces of the sun and the moon on the Earth Tidal ranges vary greatly due to the combined forces of the sun and the moon on the Earth It all depends on the position of the Earth, moon, and the sun in space. It all depends on the position of the Earth, moon, and the sun in space.

Spring Tide A tide with a large tidal range that occurs two times a month (new moon and full moon) A tide with a large tidal range that occurs two times a month (new moon and full moon) Sun, Earth, and the moon are aligned Sun, Earth, and the moon are aligned

Neap Tides A tide of minimum range that occurs during the first and third quarters of the moon A tide of minimum range that occurs during the first and third quarters of the moon The sun, Earth, and moon form a 90 degree angle The sun, Earth, and moon form a 90 degree angle

Review Q: What are tides? Tide = the periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water. Tide = the periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water. Q: What is the dominant force that moves ocean water? The gravitational forces from both the sun and the moon. The gravitational forces from both the sun and the moon.
