Eclipses happen at the new moon (solar eclipses) or at the full moon (lunar eclipses). These are times of the higher-than-average "spring" tides.

What happens to the ocean during a solar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, the Sun will tend to cancel some of the effect that the Moon has on the earth, but you can still expect high tide to occur during a lunar eclipse, but it will be slightly less than if the Sun were not on the opposite side of the Earth.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
What is the moons role in ocean tides?
high tide and low tide Just as Earth's gravity attracts the moon, the moon's gravity affects Earth. Being much smaller, its gravity is weaker and just pulls on the ocean. Tides change throughout the day due to the Sun and Moon's changing positions relative to Earth. Because the Sun also affects tides, the tides are highest during noon and midnight. In between, they just rise and fall slowly. The moon's gravity pulls the ocean and causes tides.
What are the bulges of water in the ocean called?
These are basically the "tides" of the Earth, as water in the oceans is spun away from the spinning Earth, but attracted by the Moon and the Sun. The varying topography of the ocean floors determines how these form actual tides.
What phase of the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides which are called spring tides, though they have nothing to do with the season. Spring tides occur at new moon and full moon, while neap tides occur during quarter phases of the moon.
During an eclipse of the sun when earth moon and sun are lined up the ocean tides on earth are extra and are called tides?
b) high,spring.
During an eclipse of the sun when earth moon and sun are lined up the ocean tides on earth are extra?
Yes, it's called a spring tide.

Is ocean tides non reneable?
Ocean tides will continue as long as the earth, moon and sun exists.
When the earth is between the sun and the moon the moon is fully lit is it a tides?
eclipse
Why tides are occur in sea during the full moon?
The Earth's ocean tides are the result of the forces of gravitational attraction between the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, and the oceans. The tides exhibit two highest points and two lowest points roughly every day.
How does the presence of the moon impact on earth?
The moon is a source of gravity so it effects the ocean by pulling on the water, making tides. The tides are largest during a full or new moon, and smallest during a half moon. The large tides are called spring tides, while the small ones are called neap tides.

Why spring tides do not cause solar eclipse?
Spring tides are caused by the combined gravitational pull of the sun and the moon when they are aligned. However, solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light. This alignment for a solar eclipse does not coincide with the alignment necessary for spring tides.
