Neap Tides.

Word            Native Language       Definition
          Lunar Revolution       Revolucion de la Luna     Is when the moon                                                                                                                .                                revolves around the earth.  

   Phases of the moon        Fases de la luna      This the result of movements    
                                                            rotation and translation of the    
                                                      Earth and Moon.


           Tides                       Mareas             
Is the rise and fall of the waters                                                                      of the sea, caused by the attractive                                                           forces of the Sun and Moon.

        Water level                Nivel del Mar         
Height from sea when calm,                                                                             which serves as a reference for                                                                           measuring the height or depth                                                                of a place.          

       Neap Tides                   Mareas Muertas.    When the moon and sun form a                                                                             90 ° angle centered on the                                                                                 earth, the moon is in waxing                                                                or waning.


Summary
The lunar revolution is when the moon revolves around the earth. The earth and it's moon travel together around the sun this process take a month to be complete. The moon have different phases like "New moon,Crescent moon, First quarter, Gibbous moon, Third quarter are 8 phases. The moon phases means movements rotation and translation of the Earth and Moon. The tides are the change in level of water in the ocean. The sea level is always zero. The neap tides come twice at month in 1st and 3rd quarters of the moon.

Critical Thinking Question.
How is the earth affected by movement (Revolution)?
There are two major movements affecting land. The first is the rotation of the Earth around an imaginary axis. It takes the Earth in about 24 hours to complete a full rotation. The second important movement that affects the Earth is its revolution around the sun. A revolution is 365 days or one year. Acting together these two movements create temperature variations in time and seasons.

Reflection.
1. I enjoy working in teams because like that we work enthusiasm and we work more fast also we can get more ideas if we work together.
2. The most challenging was make the video because we don't know how to start the video and how to do it without mistakes.
3. I learned the different phases of the moon (the moon revolution) how this process take.
4. I can edit the video and put more details there.
