neap The _ of the Moon determines the position of the tidal bulges on Earth. neap There is destructive interference between the lunar and solar tidal bulges during _ tides. spring The minimum tidal range happens during _ tides. spring The maximum tidal range happens during _ tides. How many spring and neap tides occur each month? two spring tides and two neap tides There is constructive interference between the lunar and solar tidal bulges during _ tides. Neap tides occur during first quarter moon and third quarter moon. Neap tides occur when there is a small tidal range. Which of the following statements is/are true regarding neap tides?Ĭhoose all that apply. Earth rotates counterclockwise on its axis, or from west to east. There are two lunar tidal bulges and two solar tidal bulges. third quarter moon Which of the following statements is/are true regarding Earth and the Moon?Ĭhoose all that apply. Which phase(s) of the moon result in a low tidal range?Ĭhoose all that apply. Spring tides occur when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned. Which of the following statements is/are true concerning spring tides?Ĭhoose all that apply. Why does the Moon reach perigee two days before it completes its 29-and-a-half-day lunar cycle? The Moon's orbit around Earth shifts position over time. What is the coastal tidal range? the difference in sea level between a successive high and low tide When would the oceans experience the greatest tidal range? when Earth is in perihelion and the Moon is in perigee What is the difference between perihelion and aphelion? Perihelion is when Earth is closest to the Sun, and aphelion is when it is farthest from the Sun. What causes variation in Earth's tides over time? the elliptical orbits of the Moon around Earth, and Earth around the Sun. Tides are greatest when the Moon is at perigee and Earth is at perihelion. Neap tides result from destructive interference between the solar and lunar tidal bulges. Spring tides result from constructive interference between the solar and lunar tidal bulges. A lunar or solar eclipse can occur only when the Moon is in syzygy. ![]() ![]() Which of the following statements about tides in a simple tidal bulge model is/are true? Choose all that apply. ![]() The full moon is associated with spring tide conditions. The full moon and the new moon affect the tides about the same. Of the following statements about the monthly tidal cycle, which is/are true? Choose all that apply. At what time on Saturday should you plan to arrive and start fishing? 3:40 p.m. You do not have a tide table, but you have noted that today's high tide was at 1:10 p.m. You have heard that fishing is best at your chosen spot when the ebb current begins to flow, so you wish to start fishing at high tide. If the side of the Earth that faces the moon experiences a high tide, then the side of the Earth that is opposite from the moon will have a/an: high tide A lunar day is: 24 hours and 50 minutes in duration It is Wednesday, and you are planning a fishing trip for this coming Saturday. centripetal The tide-generating force varies: inversely with the cube of the distance between the objects. tide-generating The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is called the: barycenter The _ force pulls an orbiting body toward the center of that orbit. gravitational The force that creates two simultaneous ocean bulges on opposite sides of Earth, directed toward or away from the Moon, is called the _ force. at the nadir The attraction between Earth and the Moon is an example of _ force. Which of the red arrows would represent the resultant force? B Where is/are Earth's tidal bulge(s) located? - at the zenith What is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation? F = Gm1m2/r2 In the figure above, assume black arrow (1) is the gravitational force and black arrow (2) is the centripetal force on the surface of a hypothetical planet.
