How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
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.
Are the 2 tides that occur during the day the same?
No, the two tides that occur during the day are not the same. Typically, there are two high tides and two low tides each day. These tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun interacting with the Earth's rotation.
Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?
same
Why are tides sometimes larger?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. When they are in line on the same side of the Earth, their pulls reinforce each other and the greatest tides occur. This is at New Moon. When they are on opposite sides of the Earth, at full Moon, the smallest high tides occur, and in between the effect is intermediate. This accounts for the monthly variation in the tides. Sometimes the Sun and Moon are more directly in line than at other times, so even the highest tides vary. Also, if the wind is pushing in the same direction as the tidal flow, height is increased in what is called a storm surge.
Why do extreme high and low tides levels occur during spring tides?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
Spring tides are unusually high and unusually low tides that occur when the moon earth and sun are all in line - during which moon phases do spring tides occur?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
What are semidiurnal tides?
Semidiurnal tides are tides that have two high tides and two low tides of about the same height each day. This pattern occurs because the Earth experiences two high and two low tidal bulges due to the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.
Is your shadow always the same height?
NO.
What is the same about neap tides and spring tides?
Both neap tides and spring tides occur due to the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. Neap tides happen when the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun are at right angles, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. Spring tides occur when the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides.
What kind of tide happens during a new moon?
I have the same question :/ Hope someone helps you.
What is the height of a sphere with a diameter of 3.8?
A sphere's height will always be the same as its diameter.
What happens to the tides when the sun and moon are both pulling in the same direction?
Very high tides, known as King Tides. To quote Wikipedia: "The king tides occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year."
