Tide

the lesson, such as what makes water tides? What is gravity? Does the moon or the sun affect the changing tides? What are the different types of tides? What are some things that change or creates tides? Explore: Students will watch the NASA clip “What is a Tide?” Students will see how both the Sun and moon’s gravitational force creates low and high tides. Students will discover from the video, that it takes 12 hours and 15 minutes for the tides to change in the United States.…

formed on an ocean's surface. (Zmuida, n.d) Therefore, currents can be moved by tidal patterns. As the tides rise and fall, ocean currents will be moved. As indicated by the National Oceanic and Climatic Organization, tides are produced by the gravitation between the Earth, the sun and the moon. This gravitational force influences the Earth's oceans. Currents in the oceans will happen along the tides, creating tidal currents and flows. (Zmuida,…

combined flow of all the world’s rivers. Every day an estimated 7000 MW of potential energy flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is home to the world’s highest tides. Across the world, the average difference between low tide and high tide is 1 m, but along the Bay of Fundy the tides can increase the water level by up to 17 m. What accounts for such a large differentiation? The two key factors are the vast volume of water in the bay, and the length and shape…

and the other side is cooling down from the previous day. Although the side facing away from the sun is in the the shadow of space, it isn't completely dark. This is because the suns light is reflecting off the moon which is revolving around Earth. Tides…

Comparing the Intrinsic Similarities and Characteristic Differences in Arthropods and Mollusks. Coastal regions possess a unique characteristics in which all plant and life forms have to adapt in order to be able to survive in such regions. One major characteristic of these regions is due to the constant wave motion of the seas in coastal regions. Hence, life forms such as Arthropods and Mollusks, predominant life forms present in these coastal regions, adapt and specialize to be able to thrive…

However, this technique is less effective on bird predators as they are terrestrial organisms. This need to be submerged results in the Green Chiton living towards the low tide mark where they are underwater the majority of the day, a contributing factor in their pattern of zonation. The mobile nature of Green Chiton also allows it to avoid detection by predators. It allows the organism to move to sheltered areas during the…

The poem “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” by Henry Longfellow is an interesting poem because the poem has many different interpretations of the poem by the reader. This poem starts with the description of the night, the sand, the ocean, and the traveler that reaches the shore and all these main ideas have a lot more meaning behind when fully understood. This poem is very short, containing only 15 lines, but this poem has tremendous meaning and imagery to it. When reading the poem you notice the…

intertidal zone (littoral zone) is where the ocean meets land and around Nova Scotia’s coast this zone is highly diverse, from salt marshes to mudflats and rocky shores. The intertidal zone is the area that is exposed to air at low tide and submerged by water at high tide and the species that are located here need to tolerate various levels of exposure. The factors that affect the abundance of species present in an area vary with spatial scale. Abiotic factors include rockiness, temperature,…

has died. It may not be something that they want, but after someone has passed, the sun still rises, the moon still sets hence the title of the poem, “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls.” The birds still sing in the morning, other people still mow their lawn and water it. Which is why after every stanza the author wrote, “And the tide rises, the tide falls.”…

“The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls”. Various meanings behind the name. From the beginning of time to the end. From birth to death. From start to end. You get the idea. The poem speaks volumes to a young writer, such as myself. Starting off with a few imagery verses, “The tide rises, the tide falls/ The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;” , to really open up the reader's’ imagination. Possibly picturing a sunset a beach. Perhaps even picturing a calm set of waves, crashing onto the shoreline.…
