Vertical movement of the sea caused by the gravitational attraction of sun and moon. Each tidal cycle (from high-to low-to high) takes approximately 12.5 hours.
the daily rising and falling of the ocean's surface. This change in the water's height is caused by the combined gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's surface.
The periodic rise and fall of water that results from the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun upon the rotating earth.
The daily rising or falling of sea level at a given point on the Earth.
the rise and fall of the sea that happens twice every day.
The rise and fall of the water in the oceans due to the gravitational pull of the sun and moons.
i) The periodic rise and fall of the sea due to the attraction of the moon and sun, ii) the water as affected by this.
the periodic change in the height of the ocean surface at a particular place, caused by the gravitational attraction between the moon and earth (lunar tide) and the sun and earth (solar tide).
the periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the gravitational pull of the moon
something that may increase or decrease (like the tides of the sea); "a rising tide of popular interest"
rise or move foward; "surging waves"
a distortion in the shape of one body induced by the gravitational pull of another nearby object
a period ic rise and fall of large bodies of water
The periodic change in the elevation of the ocean surface.
The alternate rising , or high and falling or low of the seas and oceans that occurs twice a day and is caused by gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon occurring unequally on the different parts of the earth.
The periodic rising and falling of the earth’s oceans and atmosphere. This results from the tide-producing forces of the moon and sun acting upon a rotating earth.
The repeating rise and fall of the earth's sea, caused by the pull of the moon and sun on the water.
periodic rising and falling of large bodies of water resulting from the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun acting on the rotating earth.
1. The cycle of alternate rising and falling of the surface of an ocean or large lake, caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and especially Moon in interaction with the Earth's rotation. Tides occur on a regular basis, twice every day on most of the Earth. 2. A single rise or fall within this cycle.
Periodic rise and fall of the water resulting from gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. The vertical component of the particulate motion of a tidal wave. Although the accompanying horizontal movement of the water is part of the same phenomenon, it is preferable to designate this motion as tidal current.
twice daily rise and fall of ocean waters largely caused by the moon's gravitational action
The periodic rise and fall of water level in the oceans.
The periodic rising and falling of the water which results from gravitational attraction of the Moon and Sun acting upon the rotating Earth.
The periodic, rhythmic rise and fall of the sea surface that results from the gravity of the moon and sun acting on the rotating Earth.
The rise and fall of the water level of the ocean that occurs twice a day and is caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon and, to a lesser degree, the Sun, with greater force on the parts of the Earth facing and opposite the Moon (and Sun).
The periodic rising and falling of the earth's oceans. It results from the tide- producing forces of the moon and sun acting upon the rotating earth. This disturbance actually propagates as a wave through the surface layer of the oceans.
the rise and fall of ocean waters, on a definite time schedule. Both the sun and the moon exert a gravitational pull on the earth. Fremantle Port has very little tidal range (the difference between high water and low water). It is usually less than a metre
A tide is a periodic rise and fall of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon (and away from the water on the far side). Since the earth is rotating while this is happening, two tides occur each day. Isaac Newton was the first person to explain tides scientifically.
the rise in the surface caused by gravity from another object, such as the Moon or Sun.
The periodic variation in the surface level of the oceans and of bays, gulfs, inlets, and estuaries, caused by gravitational attraction of the moon and sun.
The regular rise and fall of the water level along a seacoast or in an ocean port. Gravitational attraction of the moon is the primary cause of tides. Since the moon orbits the earth every 24 hours and 50 minutes, the low and high tides are about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart.
The rising and lowering of the water level which occurs in oceans.
the twice-daily rising and falling of the surface of the ocean and connecting waters caused by the unequal gravitational influence of the sun and moon on different parts of the earth
the periodic change, occurring about every twelve hours, in the height of the surface of oceans and bodies of water near or feeding into them, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
Tides are defined as the alternating rise and fall of sea level with respect to land, as influenced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun. details
The regular rise and fall of the sea level.
The periodic rising and falling of the earth's oceans and atmosphere resulting from the gravitational forces of the moon and sun acting upon the rotating earth. This disturbance actually propagates as a wave through the atmosphere and along the surface of the waters of the earth.
Periodic rise and fall of the surface of the ocean and connected bodies of water resulting from the gravitational attraction of the Moon and Sun.
The periodic rising and falling of the earth's oceans and atmosphere. It is the result of the tide-producing forces of the moon and the sun acting on the rotating earth. This propagates a wave through the atmosphere and along the surface of the earth's waters.
Cyclical rise and fall of the surface of the oceans. Caused by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the Earth.
The vertical rise and fall of ocean water resulting from the moon and sun exerting a pull on the earth
rise and fall of the sea caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon
The predictable, regular rising and lowering of water in some areas due to the pull of the sun and the moon. Tidal changes can happen approximately every six or 12 hours, depending on the region. To find out the time and water levels of different tides, you can use tide tables for your area. The period of high water level is known as high tide, and the period of low water level is known as low tide.
the alternating rise and fall of ocean and estuary waters, caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon upon the earth.
Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the Earth. Tides cause changes in the depth of the sea, and also produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams, making prediction of tides important for coastal navigation (see Tides and navigation, below). The strip of seashore that is submerged at high tide and exposed at low tide, the intertidal zone, is an important ecological product of ocean tides.
