Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Ocean, Currents and Tides: The Planetary System, The Phases of the Moon"" was written by James Coles in 1883. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the ocean, its currents, and tides, as well as the planetary system and the phases of the moon. The author begins by discussing the formation of the earth and the oceans, and how the forces of gravity and the rotation of the earth affect the ocean currents and tides. He then goes on to explain the different types of ocean currents, including surface currents, deep water currents, and thermohaline circulation. Coles also delves into the topic of tides, explaining the different types of tides, such as spring tides and neap tides, and how they are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. He also discusses the impact of tides on coastal ecosystems and human activities such as fishing and shipping. In addition to ocean currents and tides, the book also covers the planetary system and the phases of the moon. Coles explains the movements of the planets and their influence on the earth's environment, as well as the different phases of the moon and their effects on the tides. Overall, ""The Ocean, Currents and Tides: The Planetary System, The Phases of the Moon"" is a comprehensive and informative book that provides readers with a deeper understanding of the ocean and its interactions with the planetary system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
