QUESTION:
What is the general difference in sea level for high and low tides?
DETAILS:
I assume (based on general ignorance and forgetfulness) that high and low tides are generally steady in their respective levels and that their absolute levels are cyclical, based on lunar position.
What is the average difference in average high and low tides and what is the absolute difference in the lowest low and the highest high tide?
What is the general speed of tidal change and what is the general flow rate of tides on, either (or both) pacific or atlantic oceans?
Thanks!

ChosenAnswer:
It depends on the latitude and the morphology of the local sea floor and shoreline. In the Arctic Ocean the tidal range is less than 0.8 meters in some areas. Here is a map of tidal range for the Arctic Ocean:
http://fvcom.smast.umassd.edu/research_projects/ArcticGlobalM/images/arctic_bathy_image.jpg
The highest tide on earth is near Wolfville in Nova Scotia (Bay of Fundy). The difference between high and low tide levels is as much as 16 meters (52.5 feet).
http://museum.gov.ns.ca/fossils/protect/tides.htm
Keep in mind that the moon is not the only force that creates the tides. The sun also plays a role, so when the sun and moon have gravitational pull in the same alignment, there will be higher and lower tides. Tides are very predictable based on the cycles created by the rotation of the moon around the earth and the earth's rotational position relative to the sun.
It is very difficult to answer your question about average differences, since this cannot be easily quantified in order to average it.
Tidal height charts and reporting for much of the world:
http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/
Tidal cycles are of three types: semidiurnal (two high, two low per day), diurnal (one high and one low per day) and mixed tides with a higher high tide, a medium high tide, and a lowest and higher low tide each day. Examples are: Semidiurnal tides are found along the east coast of Florida; Diurnal tides are found along the Gulf Coast of Florida west of Apalachicola; Mixed tides are found from the Florida Keys to Apalachicola.
The absolute lowest tides by National Ocean Service definition, are 0.1 feet, since anything with less than this is not defined as a tide. Tides must be at least two hours apart to be considered as a tide by this same definition.
See: http://data.labins.org/2003/SurveyData/WaterBoundary/MHW/documents/2typeoftide.pdf
Tidal cycles repeat over a 24 hour 50 minute period, with a full cycle variation of 18.6 years based on the declination of the moon. As for speed: (I quote) "An idealized tidal wave would move across Earth at 1,600 kilometers per hour (1,000 miles per hour) at the equator. Because tides are an extreme example of a shallow-water wave, friction with the ocean floor slows tides to a speed of about 700 kilometers per hour (435 miles per hour)." from http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/St-Ts/Tides.html

ChosenAnswer:
A direct variation function has a straight line for its graph, passing through the origin. An inverse variation has a hyperbola for its graph. Exponential function graphs assuming no translations pass through (0,1) since anything to the 0 power is 1. They either start low and curve higher or start high and curve lower

ChosenAnswer:
DO NOT take pre-med courses with College Now, online, or at a community colleges. Medical schools will eat you alive for it. In order to find out what you need to graduate from college, first pick a college and a major. Then, look at the major's required clasess as well as that university's required classes. Next, make sure that College Now credit is accepted. Then, pick some low level courses to take.

aa- slick 1, 2 in and out, alot of head and foot movement.. they seem vulnerable to pressure/ body, head punchers.. that cut off the ring with straight rights.. sometimes they try to be too slick drop their hands.. keep coming over the top and feint your way in..
wa- hard straights slick but not the same head movement but effective pressure and endurance.. vulnerable to clinching and good inside fighting.. hooks up top and in and out all day
m-combos up and down.. alot of head movement in and out.. but less footwork.. they dont try to be slick... they take two hits to land one good one.. vulnerable to counterpunchers and hard straights.. likely to load up big and get popped w a straight
filipinos- i know manny and donaire.. i seen a few others as well.. i will say similar to aa's.. in and out, slick fighters... alot of head and foot movement.. vulnerable to counter punchers.. enough pressure to keep them at bay.. hard 1 2 or a feint then hook while moving keeping the timing off
j- same as above i guess
b/e- stationary come forward and throw right over the top of a lazy jab.. and surprisingly there are some euro fighters that seem to be AS slick if not slicker than aa fighters(YES I JUST SAID THAT)... i think its due to a different level of dedication. vulnerable against counter punching and constant movement.. keeping them to where they cant plant their feet and land.. hard straights up top move

There is no reliable way for anyone to tell you whether this topic would help or hurt you.
Technically, it would be illegal for the University to downgrade your application by bias against the political content.
That said, there typically never would be a way to prove that a negative appraisal was due to bias.
So, it's up to you to decide.
You might just go ahead on the concept that if any University turned you down due to bias against the content of your speech wouldn't you be better off getting your higher education elsewhere?
Good Luck!

"Second degree" is an outdated term. Burns are classified as Superficial, Partial Thickness, and Full Thickness. By second degree sunburn I guess you mean more than just reddened painful skin. I am also guessing that you mean fluid filled blisters have formed or are beginning to form. I would highly recommend getting out of the sun. These burn could be serious and require medical attention. The tissues that would be afflicted would be the epidermis and dermis.

honestly, if you really want to find someone you love you should be truthful about who you are from the beginning....
now im not saying tell the person ur life story, but never put on a act, because it will be harder to act yourself and find someone compatible.
plus you should not try to make the honey moon fad happen in a relationship it should come naturally.
Honey moon fazes will come and go.
