Waves And Tides

Question 0

Title range

Answer 0

The difference in height between a high tide and the next low tide

Question 1

Tide

Answer 1

A periodic rising and falling of the water level of the ocean

Question 2

Springtide

Answer 2

A tide of large range occurring during the new informants resulting in an extra high tidal bulge and extra low tidal dip

Question 3

Neap tide

Answer 3

Hey tide of small range occurring during the first and third quarter phases of the moon

Question 4

How does the water level along the coast differ at high-end at low tide?

Answer 4

High tide – water is high up on shore, rocks are submerged

Lowtide – water is low On shore, rocks are exposed

Question 5

What causes direct high tide?

Answer 5

The moons gravity pulls most strongly on the side of the earth facing the moon, in response, Earth’s waters bulge on the side

Question 6

What causes indirect high tide?

Answer 6

The moons gravity also pulls on earth itself. Earth is pulled toward the man, leaving behind a bulge of water on the side farthest from the moon

Question 7

How does the moons gravitational pull on earth cause tights?

Answer 7

Earth’s water bulges on the side facing the moon. The moon is gravity also pulls on the earth itself, leaving a second bulge of water on the side of earth facing away from the moon. These two bulges form high tides. In between the bulges are dips that form low tides.

Question 8

How do you types of activities of people along the coastline?

Answer 8

They occur regularly and it may influence when people fish or boat or go to the beach

Question 9

How are earth and the moon and the sun positioned during spring tides and how are they positioned during neap tides

Answer 9

Neap- Moon

     Sun.     Earth

                Moon

Question 10

During which phase of the moon are the ties the greatest

Answer 10

New and Fullmoon

Question 11

During which phases of the moon are the tides less extreme

Answer 11

First and third quarter

Question 12

How does a title dam work

Answer 12

Water trapped at high tide rushes out at low tide, spinning turbines that generate electricity

Question 13

Explain how currents distributee around the globe

Answer 13

The current move warm water away from the equator and cool water away from the north and the south poles. The Goldstream is a surface currents that moves warm water away from the equator and toward Great Britain

Question 14

Name two types of currents

Answer 14

Deep and surface

Question 15

what are the similarities and differences between deed cruise and surface currents

Answer 15

Surface – caused by wins, 300 to 500 feet deep, move clockwise in NH, counter – clockwise in SH, shapes of continents affect the path of currents

Deep- caused by density, downwelling and upwelling and ports it to ocean life – stirrup nutrients

Question 16

Longshore currents

Answer 16

The dominating current in the nearshore zone

Question 17

Rip current

Answer 17

A relatively strong, narrow current flowing outward from the beach

Question 18

Crest

Answer 18

The top of the wave

Question 19

Trough

Answer 19

The bottom of the wave

Question 20

Wave height

Answer 20

The vertical distance between the top of the crust on the bottom of the trough

Question 21

Wavelength

Answer 21

The horizontal distance between two Crests

Question 22

Ocean current

Answer 22

I continue as directed and movement of seawater

Question 23

Upwelling

Answer 23

When water travels upward due to heating of water

Question 24

Downwelling

Answer 24

Water that travels down word due to cooling of water

Question 25

El Niño

Answer 25

A warm ocean current a variable intensity that develops after late December along the coast of Ecuador and Peru and sometimes cause of catastrophic weather conditions

Question 26

What is the primary way that waveform in oceans

Answer 26

Moving or dragging across the surface passing energy

Question 27

What are some other causes of waves forming in the ocean

Answer 27

Landslides volcanoes and earthquakes

Question 28

What happens to ways as a break on sure

Answer 28

The crest goes over the child and breaks at the shore

Question 29

Describe where the energy for a wave originally comes from

Answer 29

When passes energy to the water causes waves to form

Question 30

How do you longshore currents develop

Answer 30

Waves hit sure at an angle and then wash straight back into the ocean. This zigzag motion move sand on the beach piling it up at one end

Question 31

In what direction does a rip current carry a swimmer

Answer 31

Out to sea
