PPT-Earth’s Tides

1 Water on Mars SciShow httpswwwyoutubecomwatchvdjcszDBsQkE This a You Tube link for a brief SciShow that touches on the new research on Martian water and a couple of other things as well . Parker MacCready, January 2011. Reference: . Admiralty Manual of Tides. , . Doodson. & Warburg, 1941, His Majesty’s Stationery Office. Orbital Force Balance. Tides are forced by the sun and moon, with similar physics. The Moon’s forcing is about twice that of the sun.. May 2013. What is a TIDE?. Rise and fall in ocean levels. Most observable at the coastlines. What is a TIDE?. 2 High tides and 2 Low tides occur daily. Approx. 6 1/2 hours apart. What causes TIDES?. The . Sun. Is HOT!!!. The sun is an . average . star . The heat and light are the result of . Nuclear Reactions . constantly taking place in the sun.. It is in the . center. of our solar system. . Comparison . May 2013. What is a TIDE?. Rise and fall in ocean levels. Most observable at the coastlines. What is a TIDE?. 2 High tides and 2 Low tides occur daily. Approx. 6 1/2 hours apart. What causes TIDES?. Moon-Earth Relationship. The . revolution. of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon look as if it is changing shape in the sky.. This is caused by the different angles from which we see the lighted part of the Moon's surface.  . Waves. A . Wave. is a . rhythmic. . movement. that carries . energy. through matter or space.. In oceans, waves move through . seawater. Waves. Caused by. :. Wind. Earthquakes. Gravitational force of the Moon and Sun.. Mean Low Tide versus Mean Lower Low Water. And the winner is……….!. Measuring Water Depths. Boats, Airborne LIDAR, Satellites, AUV’s/ROV’s – Differences?. Sensor Positioning. . GPS. Laser. CAPT . Emil Petruncio. U.S. Naval Academy. Oceanography Department. Maury Project . July . 2016. Objectives. Define terms used to describe tides. List and define the forces that cause tides. Describe tide measurements and the use of harmonic tidal constituents to predict tides. Created by Winds. Coriolis Effect- The shifting of ocean currents and surface winds from their expected paths caused by the rotation of the earth. Gulf Steam – ocean current in the northern Atlantic ocean, brings warm water from Africa to the Americas. Datums. plus some NOS Resources. Marti . Ikehara. , Geodetic Advisor. NOAA’s NGS, Sacramento. Marti.ikehara@noaa.gov. CLSA Sonoma County chapter meeting, Feb 2013. 1. 12. King Tide, Humboldt Bay, Dec ‘12 event. Highways in the Sea. What forces are responsible for currents?. Wind. : transfers energy through friction on surface; causes currents and waves. Sea level. : steeper slope=greater pressure gradient=drives a larger, faster current. their highest point of the day and fall to their lowest point . every 12.5 hours. . The tides result from the rotation of Earth on its axis as gravity . from the moon and the sun pull on Earth and its water. Think . What are tides?. Tides are the daily changes in the level of ocean water.. What causes tides?. Tides are caused by the difference in the gravitational force of the sun and the moon.. What is tidal force?. TidesThe tides are the rising and falling of the ocean surface as a result of the gravitational pullof the moon and the Sunon the earthThe Moon plays a bigger role than the Sun because it is closerEff
