Change

The article that I picked is called Tides. It is about what causes tides in the ocean. The four things that cause the tides are the moon, the sun, the inclination of the earth's axis and the rotation of the earth on it's axis. Most people think that the only thing that causes tides is the moon, this is what I thought before reading the article. After reading it I learned a lot more about what causes the tides to CHANGE.

Yah but I think the question was how does the article help you figure out what causes change? I understand that you put about that the moon, sun, and the earth's axis causes the tides to change but, what from the article did you find causes change in a more general answer. I like your link about tides it was very informational in about how tides are affected by these other forces

I read the Tides article and its very interesting. But you didnt answer the question why is it neccasery to use models.

i didn't choose the question about models, i chose the question about change

I agree with Luke. How does the article help you figure out what causes change? I do like your article though and it had some models in it that really helped explain the tides.

The moon, sun, inclination and rotation of the earth cause the water levels to change in the ocean.
