Very simply put.
The tides are an effect of the moons gravity on our oceans and seas. The earth rotates. The gravitational affect of the moon affects different parts of the ocean at different times of the 'day'.
Moon and Sun line up at New Moon and Full Moon to give especially high tides.
the moon is at new or full moon phases in other words between earth and sun, or 'behind' earth. This is because the gravitational pull works with the sun.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
Extra high tides are called spring tides and extra low tides are called neap tides ********************************************* Spring high tide is a tide that is very high and reaches high up the beach. Spring low tide is a tide that is very low and goes far down the beach. Neap tides are the high and low water tides that range over the beach between the Spring tide marks.
High tides, low tides, spring tides (which are maximum high tides) and neap tides (which are the lowest of low tides).
both spring tides and neap tides have a 20% difference from normal tides
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
medium tides
the moon is at new or full moon phases in other words between earth and sun, or 'behind' earth. This is because the gravitational pull works with the sun.
Only spring and neap tides. The normal day to day tides are brought about by the position of the moon in relation to the earth as the earth rotates 'beneath' it
First quarter and last quarter. They cause neap tides which are neither very high nor very low.
6 hours between peaks
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly lined up, the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects on tides are amplified slightly, causing higher-than-average 'spring tides". This happens at the new and full moon phases. When the Moon is at right angles to the Sun-Earth line, at the first and third quarter moon phases, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.
In high tides areas, the water level is higher the average sea level. In areas between high tides, low tides from. In low tide areas, the water level is lower than average sea level.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
Tidal pools are formed when water is drawn away from an area between high tides.
