Tidal Range
• The tidal range is the difference between the level of the ocean at high tide and low tide.

Mont St. Michel A great example of tidal
surge is the castle Mont St. Michel in France.
The tides surrounding the “Mount” can vary by 14 meters between high and low tides, and move in as rapidly as 1 meter a second.
The “Mount” is connected to the mainland by a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered by the sea at high tide, and revealed during the low tide.

TIDES What are tides?
– The periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the gravitational pull of the moon
Tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world.

Moon Tide • The Moon’s gravity
exerts a strong pull on Earth.
• The water bulges outward as Earth and the Moon revolve
The opposite side of the Earth also has a high tide due to the actual Earth being pulled toward the moon.

Brain Check Think to yourself,
what causes tides? Turn to an elbow
partner and explain what causes tides.
![Page 9: BELL RINGER 4/9/13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56812d40550346895d9244fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Are tides predictable? Count the number of tides
that occur in one day.
This results in two high tides and two low tides in a day.

The Tidal Day The moon does not stay put,
but rotates around the earth at a rate of about 12° a day, or one rotation a month.
It takes an extra 50 minutes for the moon to be in the same position relative to a point on the earth.
Therefore, the tidal cycle is not 24 hours long, but 24 hours and 50 minutes. Because of this, high and low tides are about 50 minutes later every day.

Brain Check Think to yourself,
what is the length of a tidal day?
In your journal, answer the following question:– If high tide is at 12pm
today, when will the same high tide be tomorrow?

The Sun Tide The sun’s pull can
heighten the moon’s effects or reduce them, depending on where the moon is in relation to the sun.

Spring Tides
The Moon & the Sun’s gravitational force combine to create a particularly strong tide.
They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line.
![Page 14: BELL RINGER 4/9/13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56812d40550346895d9244fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Neap Tides Neap tides are especially
weak tides.
Moon & Sun are perpendicular to each other.
Moon & the Sun’s gravity cancel each other out.

Brain Check Think to yourself, what is
the difference between spring and neap tides?
In your journal, draw a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting spring and neap tides.

Isaac Newton Isaac Newton (1642 -
1727) was the first person to explain tides scientifically. His explanation of the tides (and many other phenomena) was published in 1686, in the second volume of the Principia.
