How many high tides are there in a day in Indiana?
Tides are a global phenomenon. Any place with an ocean shore all over the world will see the same number of tides. The size of the nearest ocean, and the shape of the coastline will determine the height of the tides. Some places, it's hardly worth mentioning.
Are there any oceans or seas that are tideless meaning no low or high tides or both?
In short: no. Tides are the result of the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. It pulls equally on everything, but the water can move and so it moves in the direction of the pull. Tides will be more noticeable in some places than others, though. In small bodies of water the tides are hardly noticeable. The highest tides in the world are at the Bay of Fundy, where the shape of the body of water (probably) contributes to the high tides. In other places the tidal range is almost zero. This is called an amphidromic point. Similarly, in these places, the shape of the body of water and the flow of the currents nearly zeros out the tidal effect.
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.
How many hours apart are tides in most places on Earth?
They occur 4 times in a 24hr period 2 high 2 low
Why do the normal number of high and low tides not happen in some places?
Because of the effect of local land masses. For example, there are 4 high tides daily in Southampton Water. This is because of the effect of the Water being in an 'alleyway' and off the Solent, itself a constricted waterway.
How many high tides are their each day?
Usually two, in some places one, in some places four.
Name one places where this is true and tell how many high and low tides happen there?
one place where some tides go on is in the pacific and there was at least 50 everyday
What are all the ocean and sea waves?
waves are moving tides that a caused by wind, which the tides go bigger while moving

What two things causes the tides?
Wind and temperature case tides. The hotter the temperature and faster the wind, the bigger the tide would be.
Does moon phases cause tides?
Yes it does because as the moon moves either closer or farther that determines if the tides get bigger or smaller

What month and day low tides occur?
All of them. Low tides occur just about twice a day in most places.

How many daily tide are there?
In most places there are two high and two low tides each day, thus there are a total of four tides each day. Some locations on the east U.S. coast and the west European coast only have two tides each day. Tides occur due to gravitiational pull of of the sun and the moon.
Are tides lower at new moon?
NO. This is when the tides are some of the highest.
Do low tides occur as places on the earth surface pass through the areas of tide bugles?
No. The areas of tidal bulge cause high tides as places on earth pass though them, not lowtides.However, where one has a bulge there must be a trough either side of it and this is where the low tides occur.
