  2. Tide table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_table

    Tide table. Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a ...

  3. Tidal range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_range

    Tidal range. Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.

  4. Tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

    Tide. Simplified schematic of only the lunar portion of Earth's tides, showing (exaggerated) high tides at the sublunar point and its antipode for the hypothetical case of an ocean of constant depth without land, and on the assumption that Earth is not rotating; otherwise there is a lag angle. Solar tides not shown.

  5. Earth tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tide

    Earth tide. Earth tide (also known as solid-Earth tide, crustal tide, body tide, bodily tide or land tide) is the displacement of the solid earth 's surface caused by the gravity of the Moon and Sun. Its main component has meter-level amplitude at periods of about 12 hours and longer. The largest body tide constituents are semi- diurnal, but ...

  6. Slack tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_tide

    Slack tide or slack water is the short period in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed, and there is no movement either way in the tidal stream. It occurs before the direction of the tidal stream reverses. [1] Slack water can be estimated using a tidal atlas or the tidal diamond information on a nautical chart. [2]

  7. Theory of tides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_tides

    High and low tide in the Bay of Fundy. The theory of tides is the application of continuum mechanics to interpret and predict the tidal deformations of planetary and satellite bodies and their atmospheres and oceans (especially Earth's oceans) under the gravitational loading of another astronomical body or bodies (especially the Moon and Sun ).

  8. Tidewater (region) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidewater_(region)

    Geographically, in North Carolina and Virginia the Tidewater area is the land between the Suffolk Scarp and the Atlantic Ocean. In Maryland the Tidewater area is the flooded river areas below the Fall Line. The Hampton Roads area of Virginia is considered to be a Tidewater region. Southern Maryland [5] and the Eastern Shore, parts of Delaware ...
