a phase of the moon where the moon appears dark because its illuminated side is facing away from the Earth. The moon is between the Sun and the Earth.

a phase of the moon where we see half of the moon illuminated because it has completed ¼ of its revolution around Earth.

a phase of the moon where the moon appears as a complete circle because we can see the fully illuminated side.

a phase of the moon where we see half of the moon illuminated because it has completed ¾ of its revolution around Earth.

gravity from the Sun and the Moon pulls on water on Earth in a cyclical pattern, causing water to ride and fall along the coast.

occurs when water comes inland to its highest point along the shore

occurs when water recedes to its lowest point along the shore

coastlines along the ocean experience two high tides and two low tides each day.

tides that occur during new moon and full moon phases. High tides are higher and low tides are lower due to a stronger gravitational pull.

tides that occur during the first quarter and third quarter moon phases. High tides are not as high and low tides are not as low due to a weaker gravitational pull.

First Quarter	a phase of the moon where we see half of the moon illuminated because it has completed ¼ of its revolution around Earth.
Full Moon	a phase of the moon where the moon appears as a complete circle because we can see the fully illuminated side.
Last/Third Quarter	a phase of the moon where we see half of the moon illuminated because it has completed ¾ of its revolution around Earth.

High Tide	occurs when water comes inland to its highest point along the shore
Low Tide	occurs when water recedes to its lowest point along the shore
Daily Tide	coastlines along the ocean experience two high tides and two low tides each day.
Spring Tide	tides that occur during new moon and full moon phases. High tides are higher and low tides are lower due to a stronger gravitational pull.
Neap Tide	tides that occur during the first quarter and third quarter moon phases. High tides are not as high and low tides are not as low due to a weaker gravitational pull.
