Here is a great Video that discusses tides. What it does
super well is explain complex ideas in a manner that someone with no background
would understand. I do wish they used more formulas, but that’s not my call.
The part where he discusses the difference between the force of the sun and
moon was particularly helpful. I also learned new material as he spoke about
areas that only get one high tide a day.
- - Most parts of the earth experience two high and
two low tides each day.
- - The difference in distance of the earth creates
unequal forces.
- - This is important, because it creates the two
tidal bulges.
- - Full moons, and new moons create spring tides, the
moon, earth, and sun will make a line when this happens. Neap tides happen when
the moon is perpendicular to the sun.

Your resource video was a very good choice as it explained key concepts and did a very good job of illustrating these ideas as well. And your tide chart is fantastic and well organized as is the entire post as a whole. Well done and good post.
