Tides are caused by the gravitational earth, moon, sun
attraction of the:
The vertical difference in water level tidal range
from high tide to low tide is known as
the ____________.
Which is not one of the three types of spring tide
tide patterns.
A full lunar tidal cycle is ______ in duration. 24 hours and 50 minutes
Although the Moon is much smaller new and full moon
than the Sun, it is much closer and
therefore exerts a greater gravitation
force. Which moon phase has the
strongest gravitational force?
A spring tide: has very high and low tides
propagate in shallow bores and rivers, are due to large amplitude tides, c
Tidal bores:
hazardous
Spring tides occur about: about twice a month
A neap tide has: a very low tidal range
