Explain how high tides and low tides occur?
high tides occurs when the river climbs and heavy rain falls
What is a spring tide and a neap tides?
Neap tide occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are making a right angle.Spring tide occurs when they are in a straight line.Spring tide is the highest tideNeap Tide is when the tide is the lowestA spring tide is occurs when the moon is in alignment with the earth and sun at the same time. This happens during the new moon and full moon phases. When a spring tide occurs, the low tides are REALLY low and the high tides are VERY high.A neap tide is the exact opposite...the difference in tides is not as distinguishable. The high tides are fairly low and the low tides are not too low. This occurs when the moon is in its first or third (last) quarter phases (not in alignment with the sun).During the full moon and new moon days, the sun, the earth and the moon are in the same line and the tides are highest. These tides are called spring tides. But when yhe moon is in its first and last quarter, the ocean waters get drawn in diagonally opposite directions by the gravitational pull of the sun and the earth resulting in low tides. These tides are called neap tides.
Is the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
both spring tides and neap tides have a 20% difference from normal tides
What occurs when high tides are the highest and low tides are the lowest?
Tidal maximums and Tidal minimums. These two Incidents are not co-incidental.
How may hours low tides happen every day?
Low tide occurs approximately every 12 hours.
Why do tides occour?
the moons gravitational pull causes the tides. high tide and low tide. Also each tide occurs twice each day
What are two high tides and two low tides a day called?
High tides, low tides, spring tides (which are maximum high tides) and neap tides (which are the lowest of low tides).
What causes low tides?
The moon's gravitational pull.The tides occur because of the gravitational pull of the the moon on the major bodies of water. Low tide occurs where the gravitational pull of the moon is lowest, on the opposite side of Earth from where the moon is directly overhead, which is where high tide occurs.
What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
The moon cycle and it is called Spring Tides, this occurs during a full moon and the new moon when the moon and the sun are in alignment with the earth
Does a low tide occur at the point on earth farthest from the moon?
no...... a low tide occurs between the two high tides... :) hope this helped.... :)
The grassland has low to no tides?
The grassland does not have tides. Low to no tides can be found in marshland.
True or false the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
True!
