5. The following graph shows tide heights recorded in an ocean harbor over the course of 3 days. Heights in the record all measured above mean lower low water (MLLW) in the harbor. The straight lines connecting each point produce what is referred to as a Tide Curve. Although straight lines do not produce the smooth curves like those shown in Figure 10-2, the record shows tide types and changes.
