What else can I help you with?
What happens during neap tide?
During the first quarter of the moon the moon and sun appear to be at a 90 degree angle.At this time the sun's tidal influence cancels the moon's. The tide then has a minimum range. I used to call them wimpy tides.
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.
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.
How does low tide happen?
When the Sun and Moon pull the sea water from shore there is a low tide. Where I live (Sweden's west coast) the atmospheric pressure and the winds have a greater influence than the Sun and Moon. So when there is high pressure and/or the winds have blown to the West or North, we have low tides.
What if the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low tide?
If the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low then there wouldn't be such of a high tide and probably when there is a low tide the water will be even further than a regular low tide.
What is the difference between the levels at high and low tide?
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
What type of tide is created when the sun's gravitation pull on earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
What type tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
What is type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
What tide has the least difference between low and high tide?
The neap tide. This tide happens when the Moon is at first quarter and last quarter and has the least influence on the tide.
What type of tide is created when the sun's gravitational pull on earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
How does a tide wave start?
A tide wave is generated by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. These forces create bulges in the ocean's surface, resulting in the rise and fall of water levels that we observe as tides. The rotation of the Earth and the topography of the ocean floor also influence the propagation of tide waves.
