1 Deep Ocean Tides co-tidal map T&T pg 308

2 Topex M 2 tidal model

3 Mendocino San Francisco Santa Barbara San Diego

4 High tide Low tide Distance along the beach slope Measure directly Horizontal distance Tidal range vertical distance Slope angle

5 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)
