Description of tides
tides - periodic rise and fall of ocean waters

Main Factor #1: Gravitational pull of the moon and sun
Main Factor #2: Centripetal force of the rotating Earth
Tides are caused by:

The earth-moon system revolves around the barycenter.

Tidal Patterns
Semidiurnal tides- two high and two low per day; Cape Cod, MA (high latitudes)
Diurnal tides- one high and one low per day; Mobile, AL (low latitudes)
Mixed pattern tides- Two high and two low tides per day BUT with successive high tide levels that are VERY DIFFERENT from each other; Hawaii (mid latitudes)

Tidal Patterns
Type of tide depends on:Position on the globeWater depthContour- shape of ocean basinsgeography of coastlines

How do Tides Vary?
A tidal range is the difference between levels of ocean water at high tide and low tide. The combined forces of the sun and the moon on Earth produce different tidal ranges.

The Bay of Fundy: Site of the world’s largest tidal range
Tidal energy is focused by shape and shallowness of bayMaximum spring tidal range in Minas Basin = 17 meters (56 feet)

Nova Scotia Tides
Wolfville, NS (16 m tidal range)Diurnal Tides (one high and one low every 12 hours and 25 minutes

Timing the Tides
The moon revolves around Earth much more slowly than Earth rotates.High and low tides at that place happen 50 min. later each day.

By the time the Earth has completed one revolution (one day), the moon has moved slightly, so the Earth needs to rotate a bit more to catch up with the moon…

Explain to your neighbor
A: Why are there two tides on both sides of the Earth?
B: Explain why tides do not occur at the same time each day.
