Activity 2-The Moon Flashcards
How long does it take for the moons orbit the earth? How long does it take the moons rotation?
27 days
What creates tides?
The moon/Suns gravity pulling on the water
What is a neap tide and when does it occur?
A neap tide is a weak tide and it occurs on quarter and 3/4 moons
When is a spring tide and when does it occur?
A spring tide is a strong tide and it occurs on new and full moons
The sun is in the middle of the diagram where do neap tides occur
Neap tides are up and down and occur on quarter moon above the sun and 3/4 moon below the sun
When do spring tides occur If the sun is in the middle of the diagram
Spring tides occur on the left and right side on the left side with the new Moon and springtide and on the right side would be full moon in spring tide
How does the moon influence the earth
Because of the gravity pull it affects the earths tides
