Origin of the Moon
• The prevailing theory is that a large object smashed into Earth ejecting debris into space which collected to form the moon

Orbit of the Moon
• Inclined about 5 degrees from Earth/Sun orbit
• Rotation – 27.5 days
• Revolution – 27.5 days• What is the consequence of this?• Synchronous rotation

Eclipse Vocabulary
• Umbra – area of total shadow
• Penumbra – area of partial shadow
• Annular – eclipse does not cover the entire area of the Sun
• Total - eclipse covers the entire area of the Sun

Tides
• An ocean tide refers to the cyclic rise and fall of seawater.
• Caused by slight variations in gravitational attraction between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun
• Tides are periodic primarily because of the of the Earth's rotation.

The Bay of Fundy
• The highest tides occur near Wolfville, Nova Scotia. • The water level at high tide can be as much as 16 meters higher
than at low tide. • Small Atlantic tides drive the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine system
near resonance to produce the huge tides. • High tides happen every 12 hours and 25 minutes • Near mid-tide at Cape Split, one may hear the "voice of the
Moon" in the form of the roar emitted by turbulent tidal currents. • At mid-tide, the flow in Minas Cannel north of Blomidon equals
the combined flow of all the rivers and streams on Earth! • Nova Scotia bends when the tide comes in! As 14 billion tonnes
(14 cubic kilometers) of sea water flow into Minas Basin twice daily, the Nova Scotia countryside actually tilts slightly under the immense load!

Spring tide
• Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned
• Sun and Moon create tides in the same direction
• Highest• Occur every new
and full Moon

Neap tide
• Sun and Moon are at right angles
• First and Third Quarter
• Gravitational forces compete
• Tidal distortion is the least pronounced
