Ocean Tides & Moon Phases Review

Master Ocean Tides & Moon Phases! Understand how they work with our review worksheet.

Directions: Use this digital worksheet to understand tides and how they work. BE SURE TO READ ALL DIRECTIONS.Putting a correct answer in the wrong place or format may be marked as an incorrect answer and points may be deducted. Watch the video below. What do you see happening and what do you believe is causing this? Tideis the periodic rise and fall of the water level in bodies of water like the ocean. Below is an example of high and low tide. Using the above definition and diagram, match the correct definitions of high and low tide. High Tide the state of the tide when at its highest level during a period of rise and fall Low Tide the state of the tide when at its lowest level during a period of rise and fall A tidal bulgeis a place where the ocean level stretches and gets higher as a result. In diagrams, it is often represented as a blue circle around the Earth. Label "High Tide" and "Low Tide" on the Tidal Bulge diagram below. Write "High Tide" and "Low Tide" exactly how it's written within the quotations. That means without the quotations. High Tide High Tide Low Tide Low Tide National Schools' Observatory Click on the link HERE and observe the tidal bulge as the moon orbits the Earth. Go back and forth if needed to answer the questions below. In the simulation the sun is on the _.(Hint: Look at the lit side of the moon.) Left ← Right → According to the simulation, which statements are true. True There is a Tidal Bulge (at least one) on the side of Earth closest to the moon. There is a Tidal Bulge (at least one) on the side of Earth furthest from the moon. The Tidal Bulge is larger (more elongated) when the Earth, sun, and moon is in a straight line. The Tidal Bulge is more even (round) when the Earth, sun, and moon is at a ninety degree angle (L shaped). False The Tidal Bulge DOES NOT follow the moon's revolution at all. Watch this Spring Tide time lapse. Watch the Neap Tide time lapse to compare it to the Spring Tide. What are some differences that you notice about the spring tide versus the neap tide? Select all that apply. During Spring Tide the water doesn't get very high or low compared to the Neap Tide. During Spring Tide the water gets very high and low compared to the Neap Tide. During Neap Tide the water gets very high and low compared to the Spring Tide. There is no apparent difference in water level between Spring Tide and Neap Tide During Neap Tide the water level doesn't change much compared to Spring Tide Label the diagram correctly. On each moon position in the diagram, there are two labels. The top label is the phase and the bottom label is the tide. Use the word bank below and type each term EXACTLY as it appears below. If terms appear twice in the word bank, it is because they appear twice on the diagram.
