The description of a low tide
What is the point where ocean levels are lower?
The Moon Phase Spring tides can only occur
What are Full Moons and New Moons?
The force that mainly causes tides
What is The Moon?
The moon phase that neap tides can only occur
What are First Quarter Moons and Last Quarter Moons?
The spinning of the Earth
What is Rotation?
The description of a high tide
What is the point where ocean levels are higher?
The effect of a spring tide coming in
What is a super tide during the high tide, and a very low tide during low tide?
The reason we experience tides at different times throughout the month
What is The Moon's Revolution?
The effect of a neap tide coming in
