Tides are ( ) and ( ) of sea level due to the ( ) efect of the Moon and the Sun.
Rise, fall, Gravity
-
The tidal effect of the ( ) on the ocean is higher than the effect of the ( ).
Moon, Sun
-
Forces involved in the formation of tidal bulges are ( ) of the Moon and the Sun, and ( ) force.
Gravity, Centrifugal
-
How many bulges of seawater are there due to the moon?
Two
-
One bulge is always pointed towards and another to the opposite side of the ( ).
Moon
-
A graph of sea level versus time is called a ( )
Tide Curve
-
When a point on the Earth passes under a bulge, a ( ) is observed at that coast.
high tide
-
A tidal day is about ( ) hours long.
24.8
-
Two equal high waters per day is call ( ) tidal pattern.
semidiurnal
-
The time between two high waers is aout ( ) hours and ( ) minutes.
12, 25
-
Rising sea level due to high water is called ( )
Flood Tide
-
Tidal range is defined as ( ) - ( )
HW - LW
-
When the Sun, Earth, and the Moon make 90 Degrees, the tidal range is ( )
Low
-
During Spring tides,the tidal range is ( ) due to the ( ) degree angle between Earth-Moon-Sun.
High, 0
-
The tidal bulge on the Earth on the opposite side of the moon is caused by ( ) force.
Centrifugal
-
The Moon revolves around the Earth in about ( ) days.
27.5
-
One day on the moon is about ( ) days on Earth.
27.5
-
The sea level at the Datum is ( ) feet.
0
-
The sea level at a coast depends on the ( ) of the moon and the sun, ( ) of the ocean basins, and the ( ) effect.
Position, Shape, Coriolis
-
When flood tide occurs along a narrowing river a leading wave, called tidal ( ), is formed.
bore
-
The sea level rises and falls due to the Earth ( ) in and out of the seawater bulge.
rotation
-
MLLW stand for ( ).
Mean Lower Low Water
-
If the tidal range is high, the phas of the moon is either ( ) or ( ).
New Full
-
The most common tidal pattern is ( ), where there are 2 ( ) high- or low-waters a day.
mixed, unequal
-
Tidal amplitude depends on the ( ) of the moon, and sun, the ( ) of the ocean basin and ( ) effect.
Position, Shape, Coriolis
-
You noticed that the sea level has dropped dramaticalllt exposing many benthic animals. What is the most likely angle between the Sun, Earth and Moon?
0 Degrees
-
The bulge of water that forms on the Earth opposite from the moon is caused due to extra ( ) force.
centrifugal
-
The tidal range is high during the Winterbecause the Earth ( ) to the Sun at that time.
closer
-
The period of Ocean Tides on the Earth is in the time scale of ( ).
hours
-
The ( ) of the ocean basins affects the tidal amplitude at a coast significantly.
shape
-
During high tie, also known as ( ) tide, the Earth is moving into a tidal bulge.
flood
-
Tidal ( ) is a one or more wave crests traveling upstream during high water.
Bore
-
If the sea level has not changed much during the day at a coast where high tidal ranges are common, then what is the most likely angle between the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
90 Degrees
