The largest tides are in the Bay Of Fundy, with differences of as much as 48 feet between high and low tide
What else can I help you with?
What are the largest tidal movements called?
The largest tidal movements are called spring tides. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.
Which solar system object has the most effect on tides?
hey i think its because of the solar system
Does the sun help cause ocean tides?
Yes, the Sun does have a large effect. When the Sun and Moon are both on the same side of the Earth is when the tides are the largest.
What is the body of water with the highest tides?
The body of water with the highest tides is the Bay of Fundy in Canada. It is known for having the largest tidal range in the world, with tides reaching up to 50 feet high.
What are all the tides names?
The two main types of tides are spring tides and neap tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon phases when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
Why is the Bay of Fundy famous?
Beacause it haves the largest tides in the world and its home to Hopwell Rocks
What happens to the tides when the sun and moon are both pulling in the same direction?
Very high tides, known as King Tides. To quote Wikipedia: "The king tides occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year."
What is the world's second largest estuary?
The Bay of Fundy located in Canada is considered the world's second largest estuary. It is known for its dramatic tides, which are the highest in the world.
What are the meaning of neap lid es from spring lid es?
Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the moon and sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. Spring tides, on the other hand, happen when the gravitational forces of the moon and sun are aligned, causing higher high tides and lower low tides.
What are the relative positions of the Moon Earth and Sun when the tidal bulges are at their largest?
During spring tides, when the tidal bulges are at their largest, the Moon, Earth, and Sun are aligned in a straight line with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. This alignment causes the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun to combine, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.
Where would you find the world's highest tides?
The highest tides in the world are found in the Bay of Fundy, located between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada. The tides in the Bay of Fundy can reach heights of over 50 feet (15 meters) during extreme variations.
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
