Understanding Water Movement: Tides, Currents, and the Shoreline

DESCRIPTION

Explore the fascinating dynamics of water movement in our aquatic environments. Learn about how tides rise and fall every 12 hours, affecting shorelines and coastal ecosystems. Discover the roles of currents in the ocean and rivers, and how they shape our planet. We'll also delve into the importance of tools like chisel and wedge in managing water-related projects. Join us on this journey to analyze and model these natural phenomena while enjoying the beauty of our coastlines and shorelines.

  1. Unit 4: Thinking Like a Scientist Theme 7: Why Does Water Move? http://www.koicarp.net/Aquatic_Section/images/water.jpg

  2. visible- can be seen http://www.teleskop-service.se/produkter/eng/binocularspics/start/medium/Marine70frei.jpg Distant objects become visible when we look through binoculars or a telescope.

  3. tide- when the level of the oceans and seas rises and falls about every 12 hours http://www.vukutu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bore-tide.jpg This low tide has reached the shore.

  4. shore- the land along an ocean, sea, lake, or river http://www.manuelantoniovacationrentals.com/files/mavrentals/images/manuel-antonio-national-park-beach-shore_001.jpg Vacationers love to relax on the beach shores.

  5. chisel- a sharp tool for cutting stone, wood, metal, or other hard materials http://www.just-kids-furniture.com/images/how-to-sharpen-wood-chisel1.gif Artists use a chisel to create works of art.

  6. wedge- a piece of wood or metal shaped like a triangle. One edge is forced between two objects to push them apart. http://www.spectrum.usask.ca/schoolchallenge/wedge_rev.gif The wedge was forced between the tree stump to insert the stick.

  7. swift- to move very quickly http://www.moolf.com/images/stories/Animals/Fastest-animals-in-the-world/swift.jpg A swift bird can fly away to escape a predator.

  8. analyze- to separate it into parts to study it closely http://msbrowne101.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/analyze.jpg I will analyze the puzzle pieces so they all fit together.

  9. model- a small version or copy of a larger object http://www.freefoto.com/images/9905/02/9905_02_34---Athearn-Genesis-SD70-MAC-model-train_web.jpg The model train had miniature parts that should not be left unattended.

  10. current- when parts of a body of water flow together in one direction http://www.loving-long-island.com/image-files/rip-current-1.jpg Some currents flow on the surface and some flow deep below the surface.

  11. coastline- the line that marks the boundary between the land and an ocean or a lake http://www.condostx.com/gallery/images/coastline.jpg The coastline on a map shows the outline of land next to the water.
