As the earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, if the moon stood still then the moon will be overhead and 'underfoot' once in every 24 hours giving (in most places) 2 high and 2 low tides a day, but as the moon is also orbiting in the same direction as the earth revolves it actually takes about 24 hours and 50 minutes for the moon to be in the same place overhead. So the period from one high tide to the next is about 12 hours 25 minutes.

What kind of tide springnor neap will occur when the moon is at positions acd and f?
When the moon is at positions A and C, which are aligned with the sun, spring tides occur due to the combined gravitational pull of both the moon and the sun, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. Conversely, when the moon is at position F, which is at a right angle to the line between the Earth and the sun, neap tides occur, leading to lower high tides and higher low tides. Thus, positions A and C correspond to spring tides, while position F corresponds to neap tides.
What are tides that occur during the first and third quarter of the moon?
Tides that occur during the first and third quarters of the moon are known as neap tides. During these phases, the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This leads to a smaller difference between high and low tide levels compared to spring tides, which occur during the new and full moons. As a result, neap tides typically produce milder tidal conditions.
Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
What are the special tides called?
Special tides include spring tides, which occur during full and new moons when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during quarter moons when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme tidal fluctuations.
Where do tides occur?
Tides occur in oceans and other large bodies of water. They are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's water, causing the water levels to rise and fall in a cyclic pattern.
Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?

How often do tides occur in the Chesapeake Bay?
Tides in the Chesapeake Bay occur roughly every 12 hours and 25 minutes, resulting in two high tides and two low tides each day. The bay's unique shape and location make its tides complex and often influenced by factors like wind and currents.
True or false spring tides occur primarily during April and may?
True. Spring tides, which have higher than normal high tides and lower than normal low tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned. This alignment typically happens during the full moon and new moon phases, which often occur in April and May.
