Lesson Objectives. Students will: 1. Identify the gravitational effects of the sun and the moon on the Earth as the primary determinants of tides. 2. Differentiate spring and neap tides. 3. Define the intertidal zone and describe adaptations of common organisms that live in these zones. Lesson Contents. 1. Teaching Lesson 10. a. Introduction. b.
Why is there a tidal bulge on the side of Earth opposite the Moon and not just one on the side of Earth facing the Moon? What is a spring tide? What is a neap tide? When and how do these types of tides occur? What have scientists learned from the tidal data collected at the San Francisco tide station? For all media see:
Together, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun affect the Earth’s tides on a monthly basis. When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides — both commonly called spring tides.
pronounced high and low tides that are called neap tides. The magnitude of tides is also affected by the actual distances between the sun, moon, and Earth: Gravitational attraction is increased when the Earth is closest to the sun (perihelion) or moon (perigee).
