scamlin Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Here's a simple animation of the tidal cycle caused by the sun and moon; it illustrates how spring and neap tides are created. I say simple because, well, it ain't that simple. http://www.sfgate.com/getoutside/1996/jun/tides.html Enjoy! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Gwynn Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I got a chuckle out of this statement on the page: "(This animated GIF is 186K. It should take from 3 to 6 minutes to download with a 28.8 modem. You'll need Netscape 2.0 or above to view it properly.)" The site hasn't been updated since 1996.
