What is the connection of the tides are high when there is a fullmoon or a new moon to the lunar cycle?

The moon controls the tides using gravity. So it only depends on how close the moon is the the earth. The luna cycle has no effect.

How many times a day do ebb tides occur?
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)
How many times do ebb tides occur in a day?
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)
Why are solar tides weaker than the lunar tides much of the time?
Solar tides are usually hidden by lunar tides. The moon's gravity is greater than the sun's
Is there such thing as a lunar tide?
Advisedly, yes. There are such things as lunar tides. They progress on the Moon. So now you know, there are such things things as lunar tides.
What do lunar eclipse imply?
High tides
How do low tides occurs?

Ancient people who knew the Saros cycle could do what?
Predict when an eclipse would happen, but not necessarily what type and where it would be visible. The Saros is a cycle of 18 years & 11 days; that is, the Metonic Cycle less twelve lunar months. It is composed of the Venus cycle, the anomalistic cycle [ the Moon's rotation around the Earth], the Draconic Cycle & the Soli-lunar cycle, The last two deal with eclipses. It is also handy for predicting tides.
What phenomena are the results of gravity between the moon and the earth?
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.
What is the lunar phase on the high and low tide days?
There are two high tides and two low tides every day.
What is the stronger of the two forces that form ocean tides?
Lunar gravity.
Why does a cycle of tides take 24 hours?
It takes 24 hours to go through a cycle of tides because the moon cause these tides and it takes a day to revolve around the earth.
