we say "the tide and the low", which means the movements of the sea waves.

When does the highest tide occur?
Tides are at their highest during the spring. This is because the sun and the moon are opposite of each other and they are both pulling on the water causing the tides to be higher.
What causes the moon to have lessof an impact on tides at neap tides?
The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
What occurs on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of earth?
Its day on the other side. Both sides have high tides while the other two has low tides.
How does the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun cause spring and neap tides?
When the Moon and the Sun are on the same side of the Earth, or on opposite sides of the Earth (i.e., full moon or new moon), their effects are in the same direction, and the tides are stronger (spring tides). When they are at right angles, their effects will partially cancel, and the tides are weaker (neap tides - not sure about the spelling).
Where do you usually get high tides and when do they occur?
you usually get high tides when the moon affects gravitational pull on the earth, which triggers the ocean of the gravitational pull. low tides occur on the top of the earth, just the opposite of what i have stated! (just in case you wanted to know!)

Is the moon the only thing that affects tides?
No. Tides on Earth are caused mainly by the Moon, and by the Sun. If the Moon and the Sun are aligned - on the same side, or on opposite sides of the Earth - tides are stronger than when they are at a right angle. There are also tides on other planets, caused by their corresponding moons.

What might explain the fact that water is rising in one area and falling in another?
This is happening because of tides, which happen in the opposite places on Earth at the same time. The magnetic field on the Earth and the Moon are pulling towards each other, causing the tides to rise in one place and fall in another.
How does gravity effect the tides?
High tide is when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth giving a slight gravitational pull. Which then compresses the other two side of the earth giving you low tides...
Who was child of Poseidon who controlled the tides?
Charybdis, who was a sea monster or goddess whose gigantic whirlpool swirled in the straits of Messina, opposite the cliffs of the monster Skylla. She was probably the goddess of the tides, with her triple drawing-expulsion, mentioned by Homer, representing the three high-low tides of the day. Aristotle also clearly identified her with the tides.
What is spring tided?
i dont know........i need help...geeze
What is a spring tide and a neap tides?
Neap tide occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are making a right angle.Spring tide occurs when they are in a straight line.Spring tide is the highest tideNeap Tide is when the tide is the lowestA spring tide is occurs when the moon is in alignment with the earth and sun at the same time. This happens during the new moon and full moon phases. When a spring tide occurs, the low tides are REALLY low and the high tides are VERY high.A neap tide is the exact opposite...the difference in tides is not as distinguishable. The high tides are fairly low and the low tides are not too low. This occurs when the moon is in its first or third (last) quarter phases (not in alignment with the sun).During the full moon and new moon days, the sun, the earth and the moon are in the same line and the tides are highest. These tides are called spring tides. But when yhe moon is in its first and last quarter, the ocean waters get drawn in diagonally opposite directions by the gravitational pull of the sun and the earth resulting in low tides. These tides are called neap tides.
How many high tides does earth experience in 1 day?
Nromally 2 tides, so 2 high and 2 low is usual.
