What type of tide would this arrangement of earth-moon-sun create?
The _____ _____ is the difference between the levels of ocean water at high tides and low tides. That range depends on the sun-Earth-moon positions.
ocean waves
water average
sea level
tidal range
The tidal bulge follows the movement of the _____.
moon
sun
Earth
ocean
The daily rise and fall of the water on Earth's coastlines
tides
spring tide
neap tide
tidal range
During the moon phase shown in the image Earth will experience a -
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
Based on the Moon's orbital path
shown in the diagram, how often does the Moon's position cause spring tides on Earth?
Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at positions 2 and 4.
Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at positions 1 and 2.
Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at all four positions.
Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at positions 1 and 3.
Look at models A, B, C and D of the sun, moon and Earth. Which statement references
the correct model and accurately explains how neap tides occur?
Model A accurately shows neap tides because the gravitational forces of the moon and
sun pull in the same direction.
Model B accurately shows neap tides because the gravitational forces of the moon and
sun pull at a right angle to each other.
Model C accurately shows neap tides because the gravitational forces of the moon and
sun pull in the same direction.
In the following image, what type of tide is occurring?
Neap high tide
Neap low tide
Spring high tide
Spring low tide
Students are analyzing monthly tidal data. Based on the tidal ranges shown in the graph, during
which weeks do neap tides most likely occur?
Weeks 1 and 4
Weeks 2 and 3
Weeks 1 and 2
Weeks 3 and 4
Which Earth-Moon-Sun alignment causes neap tides?
Moon between Earth and Sun
Earth between Moon and Sun
Moon at right angles to Earth-Sun
Sun between Earth and Moon
Students are examining how the Sun and Moon's gravitational forces affect Earth's tides.
At which points on the graph do NEAP TIDES most likely occur?
Points A and C
Points B and D
Points A and D
Points B and C
When do Spring Tides occur?
During the new moon and full moons
During the crescent moons
During the Spring
During the gibbous moons
What do you call small tides where the high tide is not as high as usual and the low tides are not as low as usual?
neap tides
spring tides
orbital eccentricity
orbital declination
The tide in the picture is a (a) .
During this tide, the high/low tides will be (b) than usual.
