Question

Select any three questions from the following and write a well constructed response.

1. Differentiate between the Equilbrium Tidal Theory and the Dynamic Tidal Theory in at least three ways.

2. What astronomical events have to occur to produce an exceptionally high or low tide? When does it occur? and how many times each year?

3. Using the Dynamic Tidal Theory explain why some places have extra large tidal ranges or exceptionaslly small tidal ranges?

4. Is the term tidal wave an appropriate term for a tsunami? Why?

Explanation / Answer

low tide =places become dry with puddles ,where fish have laid eggs ,crabs and all sort of edge creatures move around ,and there are many birds .and bird droppings ,the world on the edge has moved down .

High tide ,this place is now covered with water and fish are swimming into this space which is now rich with the garbage the low tide visitors left behind .

There is much life both plants and all the other fish ,birds crabs ,bugs etc that moves with the movement of the tide over the changing bottom
which is wet for a time and then dry with the sun or moon added .both having an big affect on the life that lays below .

The microscopic world here is more intense than any where else in the world .

this is the edge
and edges are the most abundant places for life.

Water and land edges are the richest as opposed to forest and prairie edges,and the sea edge is the richest of all because of the tides

And the effects are not just on the water or ground ,they carry on into the air ,from the land side a current goes straight up into the air ,and on the water side it falls down ,this aerial elevator moves with the tides and you can see birds rising using this current ,or falling quickly to catch a morsel or just riding it flapping their wings to stay in the same place.

Most of the fish and aquatic life on the coast are on this moving edge
and ,most of the life on the land is as well

This phenomena of the abundance of life in action ,on edges is called the EDGE EFFECT

A excellent book to read about this is called sensitive Chaos by Theodor Schwenck,on the Rudolph Steiner press.

Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon

Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
