Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
Benedict Tide Mill: Tide mill: 1640s (erected) The Benedict Tide Mill, also known as Benedict Mill, was erected in the 1640s by Thomas Benedict. It holds a place of distinction in American history as the first recorded English mill in the New World. Located in Southold, it was the first mill on Long Island's east end.
Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon (and to a much lesser extent, the Sun) and are also caused by the Earth and Moon orbiting one another. Tide tables can be used for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range").
A tidal island is a raised area of land within a waterbody, which is connected to the larger mainland by a natural isthmus or man-made causeway that is exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide, causing the land to switch between being a promontory/peninsula and an island depending on tidal conditions.
The Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area is a 9,098-acre parcel of restored prairie and marsh habitat located in Greene County, Indiana, near Linton. The parkland is managed for hiking, birdwatching, waterfowl hunting, and upland bird hunting. [3]
Head of tide, tidal limit [2] or tidehead [3] is the farthest point upstream where a river is affected by tidal fluctuations, [4] or where the fluctuations are less than a certain amount. [5] The river section influenced by tides and marine forces but without salinity is a tidal river , while downstream areas are brackish and termed estuaries .
Since 1984, [11] a part of the island has been designated the "Neilingding Island and Futian (福田) Nature Reserve". The reserve covers 7.8 square kilometers (3.0 sq mi), including 4.5 square kilometers (1.7 sq mi) of land area and 3 square kilometers (1.2 sq mi) of mangrove forest, and was created to protect some 300 rhesus macaques and other animals, such as pangolins and pythons.
