Bay of Fundy- Tidal Power

Tides and tidal currents are caused by gravitational forces of the ____ and ______. 

 Moon is in first or third quarter, so the Sun and Moon are separated by 90°. 

Because of the proximity of the moon, compared to the sun, the moon's tidal pull is _________.

The highest tides in the world can be found in the ___________.

 ____________is one of the prohibitive factors of the expansion of tidal power.

There are ____ types of Tidal Technologies which can be used to capture the power of tides.

Where are the highest tides in the world?

Annapolis Tidal Station: when running the plant produces about 20 megawatts - enough to power 

Happens during the new and full Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line

Tidal devices operating in the Bay of Fundy may endure tides moving at speeds _____per second.

Semi-diurnal means there are _____ significant high tides every 24 hours. 

During ____, the Sun and Moon’s gravitational pulls are aligned so they pull together. 

Has a natural period of approx 13 hours and is driven near resonance, not directly by the Moon.

Uses the change in height of the tides (potential); and using the flow of the water (kinetic).

 Which of the following are types of Tidal Technologies?

 A standing wave develops during the "_____" period when H²O sloshes back & forth.

_______ tides yield the lowest tidal range and slowest currents.

________________ are affected by the distance of the moon from the earth at this longitude.

Are all seashores are suitable for tidal power exploitation?

Energy can be harnessed from the tides in two ways: 

Tidal turbines do not have to spin as fast as windmills to generate power. 

 Fundy Tides are driven near resonance,______________ , but by the semidiurnal ocean tides.

Tidal energy comes from the Earth’s rotation and the _________  forcing the water back & forth.

Both orbits, moon and sun, are not circles but _____. 

The movement of the tide is a source of clean,  ___energy that can be turned into electricity.
