This a video that was created by the author of our textbook, Hewitt. He explains with nice animations what ocean tides are in relationship to the moon, sun, and Earth.
This relates to what we are currently learning in the classroom because we are trying to understand what neap and spring tides are, and also how the moon and Earth are in relationship (direction, speed, orbit).
Something that was interesting in this video was when he talks about the blob and how the Earth is rotating daily while the moon does not rotate in one day.
I hope this is helpful! Enjoy!
