What do you call moderate tides?

That'd be the most common type of tide and it'd simply be called mean(as in average) tide.


How many spring tides do you have in a lunar cycle?

There are typically two spring tides in a lunar cycle. This occurs when the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon align, causing higher than normal high tides and lower than normal low tides.


What phase of the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

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. Spring tides occur at new moon and full moon, while neap tides occur during quarter phases of the moon.


what type of planetary alignment would you expect to result in a neap tide?

Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are at right angles to each other in relation to Earth. This alignment typically happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle when the Moon is in its first or last quarter phase. As a result, the tidal range is minimized, leading to lower high tides and higher low tides, which characterizes neap tides.


When the tides are especially weak it is called a what tides?

When the tides are especially weak, it is called "neap tides." Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This phenomenon typically happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle.

What is the lunar phase on the high and low tide days?

There are two high tides and two low tides every day.


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

Does lake baikal have tides?

Lake Baikal has a lunar tide. It is smaller than calculations show, which led to the calculation of an out of phase earth tide.


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 kind of tides would you expect during a half moon phase?

During a half moon phase, you would typically expect to see moderate tides known as neap tides. Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon work partially against each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. Just like all of nature's arrangements, neap tides have their own gentle rhythm and beauty to appreciate.


Which factor allows earth to hold onto liquid water?

moderate temperatures and strong gravity. (apex) not lunar tides, don't get fooled.


What do lunar eclipse imply?

High tides


How do low tides occurs?

Lunar tides and solar tides partially cancel each other out. (During high tides, they work together)


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.)

What phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
