What's behind the waves and tides?
In this encore episode, we answer the questions: How does the moon control the tides? Where do waves come from? And what\u2019s it like to live in a tide pool?
Sir Isaac Newton drops by and drops some knowledge. He helps explain why the tides ebb and flow. Then, an oceanographer/surfer tells us where waves come from and how they get their shape \u2013 cowabunga! Plus we hear about what it\u2019s like for marine life that move to a new neighborhood once or twice a day. Sometimes it\u2019s underwater, sometimes it\u2019s not. Plus a brand new Moment of Um answers the question: Why don\u2019t our ears have bones? And there\u2019s a new group of listeners to be added to the Brains Honor Roll.
