What factors affect the height of the tide in any particular location.?

the depht of water, or the shape of coastline, other than the moon.


What causes low tide on a coastline?

Low tide on a coastline is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's water. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of the Earth, it creates a low tide as water is pulled away from the shore. Other factors such as the shape of the coastline, winds, and weather patterns can also influence the timing and extent of low tides.


Tide tables contain which of the following?

the height of the tide


How high can the moon pull water?

The moon's gravitational pull causes tides in Earth's oceans, but the height of the tide depends on factors such as the location of the particular body of water, the shape of the coastline, and the depth of the water. Generally, tides can range from a few centimeters to several meters in height.


What determines tide height?

In the United States, the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, or CO-OPS, (a branch of the National Ocean Survey), is the official source of predictions for approximately 3,000 locations around the country. CO-OPS also makes predictions for other countries and territories.


How long is a tide cycle and what factors influence its duration"?

A tide cycle typically lasts about 12 hours and 25 minutes. The duration of a tide cycle is influenced by factors such as the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, the shape of the coastline, and the depth of the water.


What is tide direction?

Tide direction refers to the movement or flow of water caused by the changing tide. It can be incoming (flood tide) when water is rising towards the shore, or outgoing (ebb tide) when water is receding away from the shore. The direction of the tide is influenced by various factors such as the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, wind patterns, and the shape of the coastline.


How far does the tide come in?

The extent to which the tide comes in can vary depending on location, but it typically ranges from a few feet to several feet. Factors like the shape of the coastline, the topography of the land, and the gravitational pull of the moon and sun influence how high the tide will rise.


Does the size of a tide depend on the wind?

No, it depands on the phase of the moon No. The tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, and modified locally by the shape of the coastline. However storm waves will reach that much further at high tide.


Tide tables contain what?

the height of the tide


How does the shape of the shorline affect a tide?

The shape of the coastline affect tides because of resonance. Resonance changes normal tide occilations. (see in the section of resonance, Hydrographic Volume II, Tide and Tidal Stream)


How will high tide and a full moon affect storm surge with Hurricane Sandy?

When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
