As The moon rcyOives around the earth
from west to east. says Prof. Randolph,
she advances easlwariIy in her orbit
about thirteen degrees every twenty -four
hours. Hence, when any part OF the
earth, in It's revolution, comes under q
part of the hea;eEs where the moon was
the evening before, TIE moon is not there,
but has gone eastward thirteen degrees,
and therefore the earth must turn on It's
axis as much longer as is necessary to
bring that part again under the moon,
which reqlifcs generally, not always,
abou, fifty minutes.
The same thing Cccprs the next even
ing, and The evening after, and thus the
moon rises the mos. OF the year about
fifty inmates later each day. Now. rs
the tides arc produced mainly by the
moon, it will a. once be seen from this
eastward movement and this later rising
each day, Why they must occur about
fifty minutes later each succeeding day.
While the lunar tide is thus daily tagging
the solar tide occurs al the same time
Hence these Two les always begin to
separate alter new moon, being further
apart each day, until they again coincide
at full moon when there j., as already
stn,ed, q higher tide than usual, called
spring tide. Then pgan they separate
until new moon occurs, when they once
more unite, prolucing another spring
tide.
|. must not be supposed that the
whole body OF the ocean, to its profound
est depth. is equally moved by the tides.
The tides are maioly superficial, aud ex-
cept where the water Is OF moderate
depth, the l1wes, parts are only slightly
disturbed. but to what depth the tidal
current extends can never, perhaps, be
satisfactory determined. The gulf stream
is about three thousand feet deep, hay
ing for its bottom bed OF colder wa'-
cr of various depths; but as the stream
is the resail Of o.h.r causes than those
that produce the tides it is not safe
to estimate the depth OF The tidal cur
rent by its own.
