Document Summary

Some environmental features of ocean and land: marine. Tide generation: tides are forced by the gravitational pull of the moon (mostly) and the sun (a little) Sun: solar tides there is always a gravitational attraction the orientation causes the different pulls: spring and neap tides. Spring tides: lunar high tide and solar high tide coincide. Neap tides: lunar high tide coincides with solar low tide: wave generation. Winds (most common: responsible for majority of waves. Tides: create waves as well due to gravitational pull. Boats: not much effect but human effect; can be larger in some areas no wake zones. Rain drops: not much effect, amphidromic tide-no tidal change at all, impact of waves. Wave action can control presence of different types of organisms. High wave action encrusting algae (don"t move around as much: other factors can influence what is living there.
