"Relate the positions of the moon and sun to their effect on ocean tides."
Learning objective:
2. Slide

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth. Spring and Neap Tides cause the ocean's water level to rise and fall. The type of tide changes with the Moon's orbit.
Understanding Spring and Neap Tides
3. Slide

Spring Tide: A time when the Moon is closest to the Earth resulting in a greater than average difference between high and low tides. Neap Tide: A time when the Moon is furthest from Earth resulting in a smaller than average difference between high and low tides. Gravitational Pull: The force of attraction between two objects, such as the Moon and Earth, caused by their masses.
