What are tides that cause flooding called?
In some areas, there is something known as "extreme tides"or "spring tides" where the low tides are really low and the high tides are really high. In some areas, these spring tides can be so extreme that the tide difference is several feet. When the high tide comes in from these extreme spring tides, they quickly come in, at several meters per sec, and flood the entire beach area. Tourists that come to places like these are usually unaware of the dangers associated with extreme spring tides and drown when they are on the beach when the tide comes in. Signs are posted at these beaches to warn visitors of these dangerous extreme spring tides.
What are the less extreme tides the occur twice each month?
They are called neap tides.
Will a planet without a moon have extreme tides?
No, a planet without a moon would not have extreme tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull between a planet and its moon. Without a moon, there would be no significant tidal forces acting on the planet.
Do tides occur in the molten interior of the earth for the same reason as ocean tides?
That sounds reasonable, but those tides don't affect us as much, so you don't hear much about them.
What are extreme tides called?
Extra high tides are called spring tides and extra low tides are called neap tides ********************************************* Spring high tide is a tide that is very high and reaches high up the beach. Spring low tide is a tide that is very low and goes far down the beach. Neap tides are the high and low water tides that range over the beach between the Spring tide marks.
When do extreme tides occur?
The moon control's the tides
What is a spring and neat tide?
Spring Tides Are Extreme Tides And Neap Tides Are Weaker Tides.

Why do extreme high and low tides levels occur during spring tides?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
What is the main reason why tides happen?
The moon's gravitational pull
What is the primary reason for tides on Earth?
The gravitational affect of the moon.

Which characteristic of an ocean shows that they are in constant motion?
the reason is because the moon controls the tides going in and out. the gravity constantly pulls the ocean tides causing the waves to move with swift current
How deep can sea level go?
In the Bay of Fundy, the tides can vary by 48 feet (the most extreme in the world).
