Tides-Maddy+W+and+Connor+C

=//Diurnal Tides//, by Connor Corcoran and Maddy Weaver (Orange Class)=

Tides- The changes in level and height in water occuring in all bodies of water every day
(((Cuased by magnetic pull of the Moon, the Sun, and affected mainly by the shape of sea floor and shape of coastlines)))


 * What: Solar Tides occuring once a day. (One high tide, One low tide in One day)
 * When: When water opposit tidal Bulge is below average sea lea level
 * Where: In parts of the northern Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Asia
 * Tides along the Gulf Coast of Florida generally west of Apalachicola are of the diurnal type
 * The moon hits the earth at high latitudes during Diurnal Tides

Semidiurnal Tides

 * What: Two high waters and two low waters each tidal day
 * When: the two high waters and two low waters of each tidal day are approximately equal in height
 * Where: Tides along the East Coast of Florida, The Coast of Africa, and East Coast of America
 * The moon hits the earth directly at the equator
 * Has a period or cycle of approximately one-half of a tidal day
 * The most common type of tide throughout the world is semidiurnal

Mixed Tides
- Lowest high tides, highest low tides below: (Moon is pulling water away from Sun and Sun is pulling water away from Moon) This results in even distribution of water throughout earth's bodies of water. This occurs during First Quarter and Last Quarter Moons =^^^Gauging the Moon Tides Lab For All the Above... Class notes on Diurnal, Semidiurnal, Mixed Tides notes... Also look at the Investigating Tides Lab from 2-3 Months ago...^^^=
 * What: A mixed tide may be thought of as a transitional tide occurring between areas of semi-diurnal and diurnal tides
 * When: Diurnal tides having higher high tides and lower high tides or higher low tides and lower low tides, every lunar day
 * Where: West Coast of North America, along the coast of Asia and Indonesia
 * The moon hits the earth between the middle latitudes
 * High High Tides, Low Low Tides below: (Moon and Sun combine to pull water up at high tides and away from areas of low tides) These occur during Full Moons and New Moons
