Tides

Tide: 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. HIGH OR LOW TIDE? Label each picture with either high tide or low tide. high tide low tide Using the above definition and diagram, match the correct definitions of high and low tide. High Tide when the water is at its highest level during a period of rise and fall Low Tide when the water is 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 but without the quotation marks.

The daily rise and fall of the ocean’s waters is called a tide.2. In 24 hours, most places on Earth will experience 2 high and 2 low tides.3. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth’s water.4. The highest point the water comes up onto the shore is called high tide.5. The lowest point the water comes to on the shore is called lowtide.6. At times, the sun, moon and Earth are in a line which increases the pull of gravity. This causes the tides to be higher and lower than normal. This is called a Spring tide. This type of tide occurs twice a month at full and new moon phases.7. At other times, the sun, moon and Earth are at a right angle. This weakens gravity between the moon and the Earth so the tides are not as high or low as expected. This is called a Neap tide. This type of tide occurs twice a month during the 1st quarter and 3rd quarter moon phases. Be sure to go back and check answers before you submit.
