Because the moon's gravitational pull is what moves the tides. As you probably know, the moon is in a different spot each night when compared with a specific place on the earth due to Earth's rotation. The distance from the specific spot is in a specific ratio that determines the tide pulls of each place on earth. Gets a bit more complicated, but that's the general explanation.

Is why there are two low tides and two high tides each day a declarative or procedural statement?
The declarative statement would be: "There are two low tides and two high tides each day." This is a simple declaration of a fact. The interrogative, or question form would be: "Are there two low tides and two high tides each day?" Asking, in the simplest terms, 'does it happen' without regard for the mechanisms involved. "Why are there two..." presumes the truth of the declarative sentence and inquires about the mechanisms behind the events. "Why there are two low tides and two high tides each day" again presumes the truth of the declarative sentence. This doesn't ask a question, however. It is not even a complete sentence. It is a statement that what follows is an explanation; what follows will be the answer to the question "Why are there two...". So you could say that the statement in the Question above is 'procedural'. When sentences are in this form, you can help clarify the function of the sentence by putting in front of it [This is]. "This is why there are two low tides and two high tides each day." Then the material that follows gives the details.Sometimes people learning English as a second language have difficulty forming verbs the way they are formed in English. "Why there are two low tides ..." is then intended to be the question form, "Why are there two..." This is virtually always the case when sentences in this form are submitted here as questions.Statements in this form "Why there are two low tides and two high tides each day" could be the name of an essay that explains what is happening, but again it is not a complete sentence as it stands.
The type of tide formed during the first and third quarter moon when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other?
"Neap" tides. Spring tides, which are higher than average, occur at the new and full moons.
How would the tides on earth be different if the moon revolved around the earth in 15 days instead of 30 days?
Well, first of all, the moon revolves around the Earth every 27.3 days, not 30, and we see a complete cycle of "phases" every 29.53 days. -- Right now, the tides go high -- low -- high -- low every 24hours 49minutes on the average, so each extreme follows the preceding extreme by about 6hours 12minutes. -- If the moon revolved in the same direction but in half the time, then each extreme would follow the preceding extreme by about 6 hours 24 minutes, with the complete "daily" cycle averaging 25 hours 36 minutes. Of course the high tides would be higher and the lows would be lower, because in order to revolve around the Earth more often, the moon would need to be in a smaller orbit.
The Moon is not present in the morning but still tides are formed how?
Even though you may not see it because of the sun The moon may be present in the morning sky; However even if it is not - tides are still present. Each day the earth revolves one full turn so the moon rises and sets each day - pulling on the oceans - causing tides.One thing to keep in mind is that the motion of the water as the tides change are not instantaneous and there is a significant delay in the actual movement caused by the moon.In addition the gravitational pull of the sun has a significant effect on tides as well.
How many high tides happen at a given coast in any 24 hour period?
Two highs and two lows in 24 hours and about 52 minutes, on the average.Depending on local conditions, most places experience two high and one low or two low and one high tide in a 24 hour period.
How do low tides occurs?
Lunar tides and solar tides partially cancel each other out. (During high tides, they work together)
Why are there usually two high tides and two low tides eachday?
Each tides last 6 hour.

How many many tides per day?

Where do tides originate?
Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.
How many tides normally occur each day in coastal areas?
127 tides
What are the less extreme tides the occur twice each month?
They are called neap tides.
How many tides will an area on earth experience each day?
An area will experience 2 High tides and 2 low tides
Does high tides and low tides happen every day?
No, not at all. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the earth's waters. The earth rotates once every 24 hours and the earth/moon system rotates roughly once every 27 days. The complex interaction between the two creates a pattern that repeats roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes. In other words, the whole pattern of high and low tides shifts by a bit under an hour every day. But there's still more: Within that pattern there oscillations that produce two different high and two different low tides every day, so there's about 6 hours and 12 minutes between any pair of high and low tides.
Is having two low tides and two high tides each day declarative or procedural?
procedural
High tides usually occur twice each?
Most areas of the ocean have two high tides and two low tides a day (semidiurnal tide).
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.
