Gravitational force of the Moon and Sun.. High or Low - What Causes Tides?. Study Jams Video. What Are Tides?. Tides are the daily . rise. and . fall. of Earth’s . waters. on its coastlines. . As the tide comes . in. , the level of water on the beach . Tides. Tides Are the Longest of All Ocean . Waves, hence they are . Long waves. Tides Are Forced Waves Formed by Gravity and . Inertia. They are responsible for the rise and fall in sea level.. Tides . By Paul Smith. Contents. Tides. Currents. Wind. Weather. Tides. Each . 25 hour period is divided up into 4 tides (approx 6.25 hours apart). . There are 2 high and 2 low tides within this period. .. At . Section 3: Currents, Waves, and Tides. Earth Science. Mr. Margetan. . Ocean Currents. Surface Currents – Movement of water on the surface, primarily caused by winds. Ocean Currents. Longshore. Currents – Currents which run parallel to the shoreline due to energy released from waves. 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. How do we study them?. Have they always been here?. Oceanography. The scientific study of earth’s oceans. Ocean currents. Chemical composition. Seafloor sediments & topography. Marine life. How?. 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. By Michael Ogden. Everywhere around the world there are seasons and tides. But have you ever asked why they happen? Come with me, Ms. Frizzle, on the Magic School Bus and we can find out! Everyone on board? Okay then, time to go to space!. 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. How do different currents form. What is upwelling. What do ocean currents transfer. Predict. T F. Ocean currents are always cold. C. ontinents affect the direction of currents. Currents only flow near the surface of the ocean. wind, salinity, temperature, the Coriolis Effect, and gravitational pull.. 14)Ocean . currents flow in . predictable patterns. around the earth.. 15) Differences . in . density. and . temperature. causes currents..
