What types of tides are there?

Answer 1

> Low Tide ◘ High Tide § Spring Tide ► Neap Tide
There are several different kinds of tides. There is ebb tide, when the tide goes out, flood tide is when the tide comes in. There is also neap tides, spring tides, diurnal tides.

Answer 2

What are the different types of Tides

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. When the sun and moon are not aligned, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, and the tides are not as dramatically high and low. These are called neap tides.

Spring Tides

When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.

Neap Tides

During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other. The result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. 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.

The Proxigean Spring Tide is a rare, unusually high tide. This very high tide occurs when the moon is both unusually close to the Earth (at its closest perigee, called the proxigee) and in the New Moon phase (when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth). The proxigean spring tide occurs at most once every 1.5 years.

High Tide / Low Tide Examples

A view of the tides at Halls Harbour on Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy. This is a time lapse of the tidal rise and fall over a period of six and a half hours. During the next six hours of ebb the fishermen unload their boats on the dock. That's a high tide every 12 and 1/2 hours! There are two high tides every 25 hours.

Answer 3

The three types of tides are:

• Diurnal
• Semi-diurnal
• Mixed

Diurnal tides have one high and one low tides per day.

Semi-diurnal tides have two high and two low tides per day.

Mixed tides go from extreme high to extreme low, then medium high and then medium low.

Here is the distribution of the different tides

Answer 4

you have a high tide and low tide, tides are affected by the Moon. There is also something called Neap tide and Spring tide. Spring tide occurs in spring and sometime throughout the year. Neap tide is when there is a higher low tide and a lower low tide. Spring tide is when there is a higher low tide and lower high tide
