What is the word for weakest tides?
The term is "Low Tide"
How is low tide determined?
Low tide is determined by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans. When the gravitational pull is at its weakest, water levels drop, resulting in low tide. This phenomenon occurs approximately twice a day in most locations.
Why are there 2 high tide and low tide each day?
because of the differences in how much the moon pulls on the different parts of earth.
What occurs to the ocean tide when the gravitational is at its weakest?
They are weakest in the North Legical region. Also known as China.
What parts of the earth experience high tides?
Well if you think about the moon's gravity pulls the water to create tide, then the gravity would be strongest closer to the moon, so then whatever part of the Earth if closest to the moon a high tide will be experienced as will the part of the earth opposite.

When do the highest and lowest tides happen?
The highest tide occurs when the moon is either a 'New Moon' or a 'Full Moon' reason; When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are nearly aligned, and the tidal forces add up from those three. (Always the highest Tide is when a New Moon and Full Moon) The 'weakest' high tides occur when the moon is on it's First and Third quarter moon. What happens is, The Moon, Sun, and Earth line up at a Right angle ( 90 degrees ) and the weakest tide occurs Hope it helped. -DH
What are the weakest tides called?
Neap tides are the weakest tides. They occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, resulting in the least difference between high and low tide levels.
What type of tide would Earth have when the moon is between the Earth and Sun?
High tide
When the moon is closest to earth what kind of tide do you have?
A high tide.
Is it is high tide where you are is the tide high or low on the side of earth directly opposite you?
it is high tide
If it is high tide where you are the tide high or low on the side of Earth directly opposite you?
it is high tide
