Tides

Vocabulary Matching Match the term with the best possible definition. High Tide When tides are at their highest elevation Low Tide When tides are at their lowest elevation Spring Tide tides experience the greatest range b high and low due to the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun Neap Tide tides experience the least range b high and low due to the Moon and Sun being at right angles relative to the Earth Gravitational Pull force that exists b all objects that have mass. The greater the mass, the greater the effect of this force Tide The daily change in ocean levels due to the gravitational force of the moon and sun exerted on Earth At which locations would the Earth be experiencing high tide? (mark all that apply) A B C D E F G H At which locations would the Earth be experiencing low tide? (mark all that apply) A B C D E F G H Explain what kind of tides the Earth would be experiencing. Spring Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Spring Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Neap Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Explain what kind of tides the Earth would be experiencing. Spring Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Spring Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Neap Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Explain what kind of tides the Earth would be experiencing. Spring Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Spring Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Neap Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Explain what kind of tides the Earth would be experiencing. Spring Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap Tide because the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Spring Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Neap Tide because the Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to the Earth. Juan lives near the Pacific Ocean and likes to observe the tides. Juan notices that about twice a month the range between the high and low tide is greater than normal. What is the most likely reason for Juan's observation? The Moon must be closer to the Earth causing a larger change in tides The Sun and Moon are aligned, causing a spring tide The Moon is perpendicular to the Sun relative to earth, causing a neap tide Jupiter is closer in its orbit to Earth Erika walks down to the beach and notices that mussels and seaweed living on large boulders that are sometimes covered in water are now exposed to the air. What is the most likely reason for this observation? (Select two correct answers.) Global water levels are decreasing due to extreme drought The Moon's gravity is pulling water at that location towards the moon The Moon's gravity is pulling water at another location on Earth, lowering water levels at Erika's location The sun evaporated the ocean's water In the diagram below, which location(s) would be experiencing high tide? Location A and B Location A only Location B and D Location A and C What tidal conditions would you expect when the Earth, Sun, and Moon are configured according to the diagram below? Tides with a greater range between high and low tides Tides with a smaller range between high and low tides Only high tides Only low tides What is the difference between the height of the high tide and the height of the low tide? spring tide neap tide storm tide tidal range What is the total observed seawater level observed during a storm? spring tide neap tide storm tide tidal range During a Perigean tide, there is likely to be _ normal tidal levels. lower than higher than Tidal Patterns diurnal 1 high, 1 low each day semi-diurnal 2 highs, 2 lows of similar heights each day mixed semi-diurnal 2 highs, 2 lows of different heights each day Which celestial body has the largest effect on Earth's tides? sun moon stars other planets Spring Tides full moon new moon large tidal ranges celestial bodies in a straight line Neap Tides 1st quarter moon 3rd quarter moon small tidal ranges celestial bodies at right angles
