That CAN'T be true! / Re: Rotating earth theory of two high tides a day
« on: 13/05/2018 10:35:04 »I'm glad you have now accepted that the conventional answer is the correct one.Because the tide is a passing wave, which produces no net movement of water, and so cannot produce a net movement of shipping.This is the correct answer !!!
Question?
In the Atlantic Ocean from east to west, to the Gulf of Maine, a tidal wave moves at what speed.
The top of the tidal bulge moves at something like 1000 miles per hour at the equator (and near zero at the poles).
But it is important to recognise that no water actually moves that fast.
