Moon and Tides
Phases of the Moon for Neap Tides
What are 1st and last (3rd) quarter moons
the number of high tides per day.
2
the tilt angle of the earth.
What is 23.5 degrees
The shortest day of the year ?
the winter solstice
What 2 factors effect an objects gravitational pull?
Spring tides occur during these moon phases
What is a new and full moons?
Tides that occur during the quarter moons.
What is Neap tides?
Why causes seasons?
Earths tilt and Earth orbit or revolution
What is the relationship between the northern and southern hemisphere?
They share the same season
Seasons stay the same throughout the year
They are opposite from each other
Only the equator has seasons
3. They are opposite from each other.
Where would the moon go if the Earth disappeared?
Into space in a straight line
In tides what does a bulge signify?
a bulge refers to the higher water level that forms in the ocean as a result of gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun.
Tides that occur when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned in a row.
What are Spring tides?
2 differences between revolution and rotation.
What is one is a day, one is a year. Rotation, is the earth spinning on its axis. Revolution is the earth orbiting the sun. Rotation causes day and night. Revolution causes seasons.
the season when north pole gets to the most amount of sun. (draw a picture as well)
summer, when the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun.
Why does the moon orbit around the Earth?
The gravitational pull of Earth
During which tide will the water height be at its highest level?
Spring Tides
During a neap tide, when it is either a first or third quarter moon, what types of tides do they experience?
Low - High Tides because only spring tides has very high tides.
Name the seasons if the southern hemisphere is pointing towards the sun.
winter in north america, summer in south america.
why does the equator have little temperature change during the year.
What is they are always getting direct sunlight.
Based on the table below, analyze the tidal data for April 15th. Explain why the high tide was higher on this day compared to April 5th.
Tidal Data for April
Date Low Tide (feet) High Tide (feet)
April 5 1.7 4.2
April 15 2.0 5.3
The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on earth were stronger on April 15.

If we are either at a spring tide or neap tide, the moon pulls on the ocean on both sides of the earth, this causes a what?
It causes high tides to occur on the opposite side of the earth at the same time.
when the day and night lengths are equal (what are they called and when do they occur).
What is the spring and fall equinox.
At a certain time of the year, the South Pole receives constant sunlight and the days are 24 hours long. This occurs because?
A. Earth's magnetic field reverses.
B. A hole in Earth's ozone allows more sunlight.
C. The Sun moves south due to a magnetic pull.
D. Earth's axis tilts the Southern Hemisphere toward the Sun.
D. Earth's axis tilts the Southern Hemisphere toward the Sun.
When the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the winter solstice, at which location will the Sun's rays hit an observer with a 90° angle at noon?
A. At the equator B. At either pole C. On the Tropic of Cancer D. On the Tropic of Capricorn
D. On the Tropic of Capricorn
