Is there a relationship between the phase of the moon and position of the tide?

yes


Is there a correlation between high tide and moon rise?

yes there is a correlation between high tide and moon rise because the higher the moon gets in the sky the higher the tide will be.


What is the difference between the levels at high and low tide?

the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun


What is the relationship between the location of a low tide and the position of the moon?

The relation is that the moon has gravitational force that attracts the water up which makes a High Tide starting to form. A low tide occurs when the position of the moon isn't that clearly above the water. That's why planes or ships, etc.. Get forced in the Bermudas Triangle because of the moon position is always fixed there.


What type of tide would Earth have when the moon is between the Earth and Sun?

High tide


What is the relationship between the phases of the moon and extreme tides?

It's the pull of the moon that determines the tide pull. When it's low tide, and the waves are pulling back from the shore, it means that the Moon is starting to pull away from the Earth. The Moon's cycle pulls away, and comes back over and over in one day. That's what low and high tide are. When the waves are crashing to the shore, it means that the pull of gravity from the Moon is making the waves crash onto the shore. It all depends on the pull of the Moon, and the effect it has on the waves gravity.


What a neap tide low or high?

No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.


What tide has the least difference between low and high tide?

The neap tide. This tide happens when the Moon is at first quarter and last quarter and has the least influence on the tide.


Explain the relationship between the moon and ocean waves?

you see, the moon also has gravity, but not as much as earth. so earth and the moon have a "tug-of-war" game for the waves. the farther the moon, the lesser the tides. that's why there is high tide and low tide. I'm sorry if this isn't what your looking for, and i hope this helps.


A tide with the least distance between low and high tides is called a(n) tide.?

A tide with the smallest difference between low and high tides is called a neap tide. It occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned such that the angle of the Sun and Earth is 90 degrees with respect to the angle of the Earth and the Moon. This is because the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon tend to cancel each other out at that angle.


When low tide?

When the Moon and / or Sun are oriented at about 90 degrees to the line between the area with tide and the Earth's center.


What kind of tide will occur when the moon is at positions a c d or f?

When the moon is at positions a, c, or f (new moon, first quarter, third quarter), neap tides will occur. Neap tides have the least difference between high and low tide levels. When the moon is at position d (full moon), spring tides will occur, which have the greatest difference between high and low tide levels.
