Modeling Ocean Processes By Madison H. & Samara C.
How does the moon and geography affect tides in Seattle? The moon and sun both cause twice-a-day tides. They have slightly different periods. The period for the sun is 12 hours, while the period for the moon is near 12.42 hours. In the fall and new moons, we have larger tidal ranges, we call them "Spring Tides." Then during half- moons, the gravitational pull of both the sun and moon cancel each other out and this gives us some smaller tidal ranges, that are called Neap Tides.

What time and how high will high tide be in Seattle on your next birthday? Samara C. January 13th The moon will rise at 8:42 Am and will set at 5:17 pm. This means that the moon will be close to when the tides change. High tide will be at 6:03 am and low tide will be at 11:01 pm. The high tide will reach a height of 12 feet and .72 of a foot. Question 2 Madison H. November 7th This date is one day after the time goes back an hour. The moon will rise at 10:51 am and set at 6:53 pm. High tide will be at 7:03 am and the low tide will be at 12:51 am. The height of the high tide would be 12 feet .33 of a foot.
Write a new question about your data. You do not need to answer this question. Questions about the data What is the difference in height between a tide that is made from the moon and a tide made from a tsunami or wind?
