How many low tides happen in the same spot each day?
most low tides happen only twice a day.
What would happen if there were no tides?
If there were no tides, Earth wouldn't be the same
Are high tides the same everyday?
No
Which phases of the moon cause the highest low tides and lowest high tides?
At the quarter moon phase, the gravity of the sun and the moon are working at right angles to each other, partially canceling out their tidal effects. This is when you'll get the highest low tides or lowest high tides, or "neap tides".
Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?
same
What might explain the fact that water is rising in one area and falling in another?
This is happening because of tides, which happen in the opposite places on Earth at the same time. The magnetic field on the Earth and the Moon are pulling towards each other, causing the tides to rise in one place and fall in another.
Are there two high tides in the same location in one day?
no
How many tides happen in the same spot each day?
Most places have two tides in a day. On the Gulf Coast of Florida west of the Apalachicola River, there is one a day and it is measured in inches. A few places on earth may have none.
Why do extreme high and low tides levels occur during spring tides?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
What do you call the largest tides?
the different tides are high tide, low tide, neaptide, and spring tide. high tide is when the moon is pulling the water into the land on on side of the earth, but on the closest, it is low tide, because it is also pulling it away from land. neap tide is when every thing is eutral, and the same, balanced. the spring tide it when its unnaturally high, or just unnaturally low...... just higher, or lower than high or low tides.
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.
