Tidal Tracking
When the Moon moves around the Earth the gravitational forces from the moon will pull the water to it, this is high tide, when it is faceing the water. When the moon is not faceing the water the water goes back to the way it was this is low tide. The coast that i would like to visit is the coast off of Mexico. In this region there is two low and two high tides every day. The people need to know when high and low tide is so if they are in ships they would need to know when they could get in and out of the coast.

The Coast
The Hawk it would stay on the island year round. The Hawk eats lizards and other animals that live on the beach. It has to wait for the animals to come out into the open and then it flys down and caches them then kills the and eats them.
Waves
A person who lives by the Ocean would need to know information about waves. They would need to know the information because a big wave could be coming and they would need to know so they could get out of their house in time. They would benefit form this information because it could save their life sometime.

Current lab
For wind to even happen first high and low presser has to come into contact with each other then the wind blows. The Coriolis effect changes the direction of the wind and the wind blowing makes the waves. So when the wind blows and makes waves, the waves can change the motion of the currents. Temperature changes can also change the current of the the ocean. The amount of rain fall and the amount of fresh water coming into the ocean can effect the ocean current also.
