Moon Tides

> Using the positions of the moon relative to a location on earth, explain why the tides alternate from low to high during a 24 hour period and why there are usually 2 high tides alternating with low tides each day.- the low tide would be night and the high tide would be the sun is hitting earth the hottest.

 * 1) View the top diagram above. Compare the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun to explain the differences between new moon, half moon and full moon phases. half moon is a half a moon which one side is light and the other is the opp. full moon is when you can see the hole moon. the new moon can not be seen. all three are related because they all rotate.
 * 2) View the example of the tide chart for the Gandy Bridge for a day. Tide Chart for Gandy Bridge
 * 1) 3.View the Moon Phases October 2015 on the same Gandy Bridge Tides . Find the moon phases for the high coefficients and low coefficients on the graph. Provide an explanation for the pattern of high coefficient of tides alternating with the low coefficient of tides during the month based on the relative position of the earth, moon and sun. -  the tides are higher at a crescent moon because less moon is showing making it more direct towards the ocean. When it is a full moon it is more widespread, making it low tide.
