Moon’s wobble will bring 9 years of tidal flooding — NASA

The video discusses how the Moon's 18.6-year cycle affects high tide floods, also known as nuisance floods, by amplifying or suppressing tides. Currently, the Moon is in a phase that amplifies tides, but this has not significantly increased high tides along most US coastlines. However, by the mid-2030s, the combination of the Moon's cycle and ongoing global sea level rise is expected to result in more severe high tide floods.

What are high tide floods also known as?

• Nuisance floods

• Tsunamis

• Flash floods

• Storm surges

During which part of the Moon's cycle are Earth's regular daily tides suppressed?

• Full moon

• New moon

• Half of the 18.6-year cycle

• First quarter

What happens to high tides during the amplifying part of the lunar cycle?

• They disappear

• They get higher

• They remain unchanged

• They become lower

What is the current state of the Moon's cycle according to NASA?

• Neutral effect

• Reversing tides

• Amplifying tides

• Suppressing tides

Why does NASA warn about the mid-2030s regarding high tides?

• Tides will be suppressed

• Global sea level rise will have increased

• The Moon will be closer to Earth

• There will be more storms
