Misha’s Breach

• Misha: What are tides? (We founda picture).

• Misha: Oh so lowtide is when the level of the water is low, and high tide is when the level of the water is high

High Tide Low Tide

Misha’s Brief•The Earth is mostly a solid rock, it cannot be easily stretched…BUT•The Earth’s oceans are liquid, which are fluid and more easily stretched

Let’s Take A Closer Look…

• There are two high tides and two low tides every day

• So about 6 hours in between high tide and low tides

Spring Tides and Neap tides occur twice a month

• Tides occur due to gravitational pull form the Moon and the Sun (but mostly the moon)

• We experience high to low tides every 6 hours• Spring Tides is when the high tides are really

high and the low tides are very low • Neap Tides is when we do not have very high

or very low tides
