What causes tides?
The forces from the sun and moon cause tides.
100
What effects tides?
The position of the earth affects tides.
100
What do the sun and moon do for tides?
They both pull on the water causing tides. Gravity also plays a part in this.
100
What forces cause waves and tides?
The sun, moon, inertia, gravity, and wind.
100
What causes waves?
When wind blows across the water it transfers the energy.
200
What are tides?
Tides are the daily rise and fall of Earth's waters on its coastline.
200
What can happen to the coastline because of tides and waves?
Sand disposition and water erosion.
200
How can distant objects like the moon and sun influence water on Earth?
Gravity is the force exerted by an object that pulls other objects toward it.
200
What else do the forces do on the earth?
They cause tidal bulges.
200
What is a wave?
A wave is the movement of energy through water.
300
What do strong winds cause on the water?
Strong storm winds cause large waves.
300
What do waves make?
Waves deposit sand and gravel to make beaches.
300
What are the two types of tides the moon and sun cause?
They cause neap tides and leap tides.
300
What is the strongest force by water?
The strongest force by water is a tsunami.
300
What depends on the strength of a wave?
The size of a wave depends on the strength of a wave.
400
What is the process by which sand is deposited on a beach?
Sand Deposition is the process by which sand is moved from one place to another.
400
What kind of beaches protect a beach from waves?
A barrier beach protects a beach from wave erosion.
400
What position do the sun and moon have to be in to create a leap tide?
They have to be in line with each other in line with Earth and each other.
400
What do you call the forces that cause waves and tides?
They are called gravitational forces.
400
Where does the energy of a wave go?
The energy of a wave moves towards the coast.
500
What can effect the path of a wave or a tide?
Deltas, barrier islands, and rip currents can effect the path of a wave or tide.
500
What causes cyclones in water?
The high and low pressures mixing with the water causing cyclones.
500
What position do the sun and moon have to be in to cause a neap tide?
They have to form a right angle around Earth.
500
What do the forces from waves do other than cause waves?
They cause erosion and wind, and other forces that break down other things.
500
Where does the water move in a wave?
The water remains in place.
