Instructor Introduction
Saturday, July 27, 2024. (Kyoto Ekimae Satellite)
Mini lecture
Saturday, July 27, 2024. (Kyoto Ekimae Satellite)
| Science Education and Visualization: Correcting Misconceptions about Tidal Forces | |
| Lecturer | Takao Fujiwara (Professor) |
| Summary |
At times, textbooks can be wrong. In this mini-lecture, I will address the description of tidal forces in Earth science textbooks and clarify how the traditional explanation that uses centrifugal force is incorrect. In fact, tidal forces have nothing to do with centrifugal force and must be explained as the difference in the moon's gravitational pull between a point on the Earth's surface and the Earth's center. |
