  1. Tidal Patterns Diurnal Semidiurnal Mixed semidiurnal

  2. Tide Generating Force http://www.nos.noaa.gov/education/kits/tides/media/supp_tide02.html

  3. Consider water-covered non-tilted Earth with no continents, and the affect of the moon alone: Equilibrium model of tides inertia gravity = egg shaped envelope (tidal bulge) that the Earth rotates within. What type of tidal pattern would result from this configuration?

  4. Lunar day shifting tidal cycle Lunar day = 24 hours + 50 minutes

  5. Declination of the moon What is the tidal pattern at latitude A? at latitude B? in between A and B?

  7. Do tides interact with the seabed? http://www-class.unl.edu/geol101i/14_coasts.htm

  8. Frictional Drag

  9. Add the sun… Spring tide and Neap tide

  10. Declination of Sun (tilt of Earth’s axis)

  11. Earth’s elliptical orbit around sun http://eo.nso.edu/dasl/Lessons/Aphelion/eccentricity.gif
