Moon’s faster orbits about the Earth, compared to Earth’s orbit about the Sun, means that “Spring” and “Neap” tides aredefined by theLunar orbit.

Tides can be
1. Diurnal: or once daily
2. Semidiurnal or twice daily
and
3. Mixed

Semidiurnal tides are more common than diurnal and mixed tides

An amphidromic point is a point within a tidal system where the tidal range is almost zero, i.e., there is almost no vertical move-ment. Such points occur because of the coriolis effect and interference within oceanic basins and bays creating a wave pattern which rotates around the amphidromic point. These points are located at Tahiti, off the coast of Newfoundland, near the South Shetlands, midway between Rio de Janeiro and Angola, at three points in the North Sea and at several other locations in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The island of Madagascar is an amphidromic point, as is New Zealand.

The map below shows the position of the leading wave of a tsunami generated by a 1979 earthquake offshore Colombia, South America*. These contours are for the tsunami arrival times in hours.

Consider an earthquake with its epicenter at Honolulu, Hawaii. The corresponding tsunami travel times (in hours) from Hawaii are given in this map of the Pacific Ocean.

No matter where an earthquake
occurs in the Pacific, Hawaii is barely 15 hours
away, at the most!

The Dec 2004 Asian Tsunami: The Dec 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was
produced by perhaps the strongest earthquake of the past 100 years. It occurred in the Java trench,
off Bandar Aceh in north-western Sumatra. This animation was produced by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
