CNE Quiz Questions and Answers 100% Pass Define Tides. - Tides are periodic vertical reversing movements of the water on the Earth's Surface, caused by the tide raising forces of the moon and sun Four Types of Tides - 1. Semi-Diurnal or Diurnal tide is affected by: Declination and position of the moon and sun. 2. Diurnal: 1HW & 1 LW in 25HR 3. Semi-Diurnal: 2HW & 2LW in 25HR 4. Semi-Diurnal with Diurnal Inequalities: Uneven heights and times - 2HW & 2LW in 25HR Five Factors Affecting Tides. - 1. Astronomical (Sun, Moon, Planets) 2. Meteorological (Barometric Pressure, Wind) 2Katelyn Whitman, All Rights Reserved © 2025 3. Geographic (Land Shape, Depth of shelves) 4. Resonance (Natural resonant period) 5. Seismic Waves (Seismic activity) What are the Different Phases of the Moon? - Diagram Define Perigee and Apogee. - PERIGEE - Moon is at its closest point from the Earth and creates greater tidal ranges APOGEE - Moon is at its furthest point from the Earth and characterized by lesser tidal ranges Define Perihelion and Aphelion. - Perihelion - Earth's closest distance to the sun and characterized by greater tidal forces Aphelion - Earth's most distant point from the sun and characterized by lesser tidal forces What are the Characteristics of a Spring Tide? - - Moon and sun are aligned with each other either at the full or new moon - Tide raising forces are at their greatest 3Katelyn Whitman, All Rights Reserved © 2025 - Spring tides occur twice every month - Large tidal ranges and have higher highs and lower lows. What are the Characteristics of a Neap Tide? - Neap tides occur when the sun is at right angles to the earth and moon. The moon will be at the first or last quarter and typically at these times the Moon and Sun are said to be in Quadrature (BR 45 Vol 1 Ch 10). The tide raising forces are working at 90° to each other. Neap tides are characterised by a lesser tidal range and
