Bay of Fundy

In the Bay of Fundy the incoming tidal waters can overpower the flow of estuaries and rivers. This extraordinary phenomenon is known as a tidal bore and occurs twice daily. At high tide, a massive volume of seawater floods out of the Bay of Fundy into the rivers which feed it. The narrowing riverbanks force the soaring waters in a amazing surge and often a visible standing wave, in some cases 1 meter (3 feet) tall! In addition, 3 to 3.5 meters (10-12 feet) high rapids are generated in the wake of

Energy East is a proposed 4,600-kilometre pipeline by the Calgary-based energy corporation TransCanada. It would stretch from Alberta to New Brunswick, an export terminal. The pipeline, if built could carry up to 1.1 Million barrels of crude oil per day. The pipeline would be built by transforming an existing pipeline and adding more to the pipeline. Travelling through these pipelines would be a cocktail of toxic chemicals including Benzene a known poisonous chemical, refined into oil. This is very

account for the large mass of petroleum production (Henry). The Fundy Basin It is believed that the Fundy Basin got its name due to being ironically located just south of the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault system in Nova Scotia and beneath the infamous Bay of Fundy (Wade, 1996). This basin, in particular, is considered one of the ‘failed-rifts’ of the “half-graben” formed by the mid - late Triassic break up of Pangea. The Fundy Basin is a sediment-filled, proto-oceanic rift basin located along the

Have you ever actually tried locating a needle in a haystack? It’s an exasperating task, I assure you. Sometime back in the fifth grade, I was spending a day at my close friend Tyler Clarke’s farmhouse property, emptying soda can after soda can, wreaking havoc on the woodlands surrounding the barn, and terrorizing his sister’s prized horses in our sugared up state. Typical irresponsible schoolboy stuff. Polar opposites, no other term could be used to describe Tyler and me. Ordinarily, I was a timid

Environment Report: Tidal Power In The Bay of Fundy INTRODUCTION      The Bay of Fundy, which is found off the shores of Nova Scotia, has the highest tides in the world .      Extraordinary tides occur when the tidal wave length is two to four times the length of the Bay. By virtue of blind luck or physics, the tide is amplified into a standing wave, like water sloshing in a bathtub. For a breaking wave to form, the surging tide must

Tides and the Moon Name AST/101 Date Teacher Tides and the Moon I was recently tasked with examining the relationship between the Earth’s moon and the Earth’s tides. I took that to mean literally: how are the tide levels of Earth’s bodies of water affected by the Moon? When approaching this question I want to do so with the scientific method in mind. The scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous

why tidal energy generation would be much more efficient than hydroelectricity energy generation in Nova Scotia because there are not many strong flowing rivers. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) located in California stated that the Bay of Fundy had potential to be the best site in North America for tidal energy generation. I believe that Nova Scotia should take advantage of these tides and use them as an important resource for our province. After the costs of the infrastructure and maintenance

Let the Nova Scotia Vacation Guide act as your handbook as you discover Nova Scotia, the second smallest province of Canada, which sits along its east coast. The province's mainland, which includes numerous bays and estuaries. is a peninsula, which is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with Cape Breton Island and Sable Island to the northwest of the mainland. It is for this reason, that this province is often called "the ocean playground." If you're a nature lover, you'll certainly find Nova Scotia

The dynamics and diverse stakeholders within the Bay of Fundy regrading tidal turbines are interrelated to one another. In some ways, Irving Oil and the tidal turbine project potentially could be competing for consumers in the future. The interrelations within the politics of this issues indicates that the
