On average four tides occur in a 24 hours period. Two low and two high ones. First higher one is caused by gravitational force of the moon pulling the ocean's water toward the moon. The second lower high, happening after a lower low one, is the effect of water rebounding, similar to rebounding experienced by pendulum of a clock. Due to gravity pendulum is forced to return to the original position, and overshoots because of its mass and velocity (check inertia term in answers.com).

How manny tides occur in one day?
How many tides occur in one day
How many high and low tides occur in one day?
6. There are 12 hours between high tides and low tides occur "exactly" halfway between them.
How many times a day around the world do high tides occur around the world?
High tides occur twice a day wherever water is located. The high tides on one side of the world correspond with the low tides on the other side of the world, and are based on the gravitational pull exerted by the Earth's moon.
What is difference between semi diurnal mixed and diurnal tides?
Semi diurnal tides occur twice a day (2 low tides, 2 high tides) and diurnal tides occur once (1 high tide one low tide) per day.
What are semidiurnal tides?
they are what you call when there are two tide cycles in one day--when there is only one tide cycle in one day that is called diurnal--diurnal tides occur in the Gulf of Mexico.
How often do rise of tides occur?
High tides occur twice each day. There is about 12 hours between each high tide as they are based on the lunar day and caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
How many tides are there each year?
there are 732 tides a year! That is about right. But, it depends if it is diurnal, twice a day so 365 x 2 = 730, minus 2 in leap years, 728. if tide is semi-diurnal, then there are 4 tides a day 1,460, and it can be mixed with 3 tides a day.
Where do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
How many hours is the diffirence of the tides each day?
Its normally one hour each day
Do low tides take 2 hours to occur after high tides?
ask some one who cares
How do semidiurnal and diurnal tides differ?
semidiurnal tides are when there are two tide cycles in one day, and that is the common tides. diurnal tides are when there is only one tide cycle in one day, like in the Gulf of Mexico.
How many high and low tides do most coastal areas experience in one day?
Two of each.
