Why do tides occur twice a day?

Gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans

Tides occur due to changes in atmospheric pressure

Tides are a result of underwater volcanic activity

Tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth

How do gravitational forces from the moon and sun contribute to tides?

Gravitational forces from the moon and sun create bulges in the Earth's oceans, resulting in tides.

Tides occur due to the magnetic pull of the moon and sun, not gravitational forces.

Tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth, not gravitational forces.

Gravitational forces from the moon and sun create earthquakes, affecting tides.

What are the primary causes of tides?

Gravitational forces from the Moon and the Sun

Magnetic fields from distant stars

Explain the difference between high tide and low tide.

High tide is when the water level is at its highest, and low tide is when it's at its lowest.

High tide occurs due to the gravitational pull of the moon, and low tide occurs when this pull is weakest.

Describe the process of wave formation in the ocean.

Waves are formed by wind transferring energy to the water.

Wave formation is caused by the Earth's rotation.

Waves are formed by the moon's gravitational pull.

Waves are created by underwater volcanoes.

How do waves affect the shoreline?

By creating new land, by causing earthquakes, by attracting marine life

What is the significance of the fetch in determining wave sizes?

Fetch is the distance over which the wind blows without interruption, directly affecting wave sizes.

Fetch refers to the depth of the water, which has no impact on wave sizes.

Fetch is a type of ocean current that reduces wave sizes.

Fetch is the term for the temperature of the water, influencing the wave's energy but not its size.

What factors influence the height of ocean waves?

Wind speed, wind duration, and fetch

Boat traffic, underwater volcanoes, and cloud cover

Fish population, coral reefs, and ocean currents

Water temperature, water depth, and moon phase

What causes ocean tides?

Gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun
