Waves
• A Wave is a rhythmic movement that carries energy through matter or space.
• In oceans, waves move through seawater

Waves
Caused by:• Wind• Earthquakes• Gravitational force of the
Moon and Sun.

Parts of a Wave
• Crest – highest point of a wave• Trough – lowest point of a wave• Wave Height – vertical distance
between the crest and the trough• Wavelength – horizontal distance
between two crests or two troughs

Wave Movement
• When a wave passes through the ocean, individual water molecules move up and down but they do not move forward or backward.

Wave Movement
• When a wave breaks against the shore, the crest outruns the trough and the crest collapses.
• Called a breaker.• In this case, water does move
forward and backward.

Waves Caused by Wind
• When wind blows across a body of water, friction causes the water to move along with the wind.
• Wave Height depends on – –Wind speed–Distance over which the wind blows
–Length of time the wind blows

Tides
• The rise and fall in sea level is called a tide.
• One low-tide/high-tide cycle takes about 12 hrs and 25 min.
• Tidal range is the difference in ocean level between high-tide and low-tide

The gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the water causes the tides..
The moon, being nearest, has the greatest effect even though the sun is the larger of the two.
High tides are generated on the sides of the Earth nearest to and farthest from the moon
What causes tides?

Gravitational Effect of the Moon
• Two big bulges of water form on the Earth:–one directly under the moon –another on the exact opposite side
• As the Earth spins, the bulges follow the moon.

During new and full moon phases the moon, sun, and Earth are aligned causing a greater gravitational pull on the Earth.
This results in higher high tides and lower low tides.

Gravitational Effect of the Sun
• Spring Tides–Earth, Moon, and Sun are lined up
–High Tides are higher and Low Tides are lower than normal

Gravitational Effect of the Sun
• Neap Tides–Earth, Moon, and Sun form right angles
–High Tides are lower and Low Tides are higher than normal
