I am working on some research for a drawing about Hurricane Sandy. I plan on using red silt that washed up in my house to make a drawing of a full moon. Below is some research for this drawing.
collected silt that washed up in my house during Hurricane Sandy
The semi-diurnal range (the difference in height between high and low
waters over about half a day) varies in a two-week cycle. Approximately
twice a month, around
new moon and
full moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line (a condition known as
syzygy[8]) the
tidal force due to the sun reinforces that due to the Moon. The tide's range is then at its maximum: this is called the
spring tide, or just
springs. It is not named after the
season but, like that word, derives from the meaning "jump, burst forth, rise", as in a natural
spring.
