How many times each days does high tide usually occur?
A hightide occurs twice a day- there are 4 tides each day, with 2 high tides and 2 low tides, happening between each 6 hours, which all together equals (1 whole) 24 hour day.
Why are spring tide the biggest tide?
They are not the biggest. They are higher than mean tides (12 year average) because the moon and sun are aligned thereby exerting greater than normal gravitational pull twice each month thus higher and lower tides. However, when the moon is farthest out in it's orbit, every six months, or closest even more extreme tides are experienced. These are called apogean and paragean tides. In Florida, during heavy rains they actually cause sewers to back up into the streets.
2 kinds of tides of low and high?
spring tides and neap tides,This alignment occurs approximately twice a month (around the Full_moonand New_moon). These recurring, extreme tides are termed Spring_tide.The opposite, most moderate tides are termed Neap_tide(occurring around the first and last Quarter_moon).File:Tide_type.gifFile:Tide_type.gifFig. 1: Types of tidesTide changes proceed via the following stages:Sea level rises over several hours, covering the intertidal zone; flood tide.The water rises to its highest level, reaching high tide.Sea level falls over several hours, revealing the intertidal zone; ebb tide.The water stops falling, reaching low tide.
