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!

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

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.

Hi Lynn,
The key is to prepare what you want to cover with your new recruits well in advance. For some ideas on where you might need to brush up on, you should review some Train the Trainer course outlines. You'll get lots of outlines on:
http://www.learnpipe.co.uk/course/directory.htm?searchDepth=3&searchString=train&the&trainer&countries=GB
By knowing what topics are covered in these courses will help you to prepare. Click the video tab also - you might get some useful videos there.

ChosenAnswer:
My third answer for you.
Take a book, for example.
Specific to general would be something like.
Reference to the specific appearance of the book: its color, dimensions, number of pages.
Then more generally: this book is about the Battle of Gettysburg.
Then perhaps a general statement about books: Books are ready by many people who seek a greater understanding of history.
Early on, details are mentioned, and as the paragraph proceeds, the statements become more and more generalized.
Another example might be people. Early on, a sentence might give details of a specific individual: sex, height, age. Then you might get a generalization that applies to ALL people: All people eat food, earn their living, etc. Here again, the paragraph moves from details applying to one specific example to generalizations applying to a larger group--of books, people, etc.
BTW, I suspect b is NOT the answer.

Well,any legal contractor wants you to pay for 3 things
Licenses & permits
Materials
Labor
Any more is all BS. My best friend is a general contractor and thats what he requires.He Figures all the different contractors,plumbers,electricians,carpenters,finish guys,floor guys ect.Then how much time for each job/room and add it all up. Sometimes problems arise and the estimate might be a little higher just incase..He built me a house and this is how we went about it.Having someone build you a brand new house is so much cheaper than buying an old one.Plus you get to make you own home in most cases....Goodluck,I hope this helps.

Read - a lot. I read the daily newspaper, Time magazine, novels - pretty much anything. I even read articles about things which don't even apply to me! For example I have never had children and my nieces and nephews are in their 20's yet I read articles about caring for babies and how to raise children. I am so curious about everything. Unfortunately I'm in my 60's and my retention level has taken a nosedive. Even so, you will also gain knowledge as you gain experience simply by becoming older.
I know a lot about fish because I've had them for more years than I can remember. I know a lot about cats for the same reason plus I foster cats & kittens for a local "no kill" shelter. Same thing with genealogy, scrap booking and quilting. I could go on and on but you get the picture.
Almost forgot. You can learn a lot by doing more difficult crossword puzzles.

A general laborer is one that helps pick up material, cleans up job site, relocates materials.
It's also a really good way for you to learn about construction work. A majority of carpenters/remodelers have started out as a general laborer and worked their way up.
I usually start my guys out around $8.50 - $9.00 an hour, then as they learn more and increase their workload, I give raises and new job titles. It depends on what area of the country you are located in. I am in NC, and we also do fire/water damage restoration work, so it's really busy and chaotic a lot of the time.
