The moon produces two tidal bulges somewhere on the Earth through the effects of gravitational attraction. The moon is the primary factor controlling the temporal rhythm and height of tides. And since the Moon is nearly 400 times closer to our planet, its influence on our oceans is twice as strong as the Sun's. The Sun is extremely massive, but it is an average of 93 million miles (150 million km) from Earth, compared with about 238,866 miles (384,400 km) from here to the Moon. For example, you have very little mass and you're very close to the Earth, so the Sun and Moon can't just yank you off the planet. The Sun and Moon pull on the Earth, the water, even you! But gravitational attraction depends on distance and mass. Tides are periodic primarily because of the cyclical influence of the Earth's rotation. Tides are caused by slight variations in gravitational attraction between the Earth and the moon and the Sun in geometric relationship with locations on the Earth's surface. The posted coords will take you to a public beach access in Gulf Shores, along the emerald coast along the Gulf of Mexico.Īn ocean tide refers to the cyclic rise and fall of seawater. Ok, ok, enough about stuff you don't want to know, on to the earth science!įor this cache you must visit the location at the posted coordinates and make several observations as listed below. This is the 3rd earthcache that I have developed that put up to the EC Masters Platinum level and it was published just as I found my 40th Earthcache (Green Mountain Sandstone Outcropping - GC1F0AA) - I hope you enjoy it! Through five kilometres of paved and gravel trails you can walk, run or bike along the banks of the Petitcodiac, one of Canada’s most unique rivers.About a year and half ago, just a few miles from here, I found my very first Earthcache ('Earthcache at Gulf State Park' - GC1NBF5), and my love of this type of cache began.
✔️ Plan to stay downtown for a bit and enjoy a stroll along Moncton’s Riverfront Trail. ✔️ Take a seat on the amphitheatre in front of the river to watch the bore slowly roll in. Located at 10 Bendview Court in downtown Moncton. ✔️ Bore Park is the best Tidal Bore viewing point. ✔️ Check out the Tide Times table to find out when the Tidal Bore occurs. ✔️ Be sure to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled arrival of the Tidal Bore.

Twice daily, watch the Tidal Bore reach heights ranging from 0.5 to 1 m.įeel the power of the ocean on full display, twice daily, with these tips: The tidal bore in Moncton is caused when the unparalleled tides in the Bay of Fundy begin to make their way up the historic Petitcodiac River. If you’ve never experienced the Tidal Bore in Moncton, this is an absolute must! Come see the highest tides in the world, where over 100 billion tons of water come in and out of the Bay of Fundy each day!Ī tidal bore is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of an incoming tide forms a standing wave of water that travels upstream, against the current of a river or narrow bay.
