The moon exerts a gravitational pull on earth. As a result, the ocean and Earth itself is pulled towards the moon. Confusingly, this means that the ocean bulges at the side closest to the moon as well as on the side furthest from the moon. As the Earth spins underneath the moon (one full spin for every 24 hours) so the swelled oceans move along the surface of Earth to stay positioned below the moon. As a result, the tides are high twice a day and low twice a day.
What else can I help you with?
When high tides are higher than normal what tides do they make neap or spring tides?
it makes spring tides. the way i remenber that is springs go high and and spring tides are higher than neap tides.
A tide that result when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combine to create higher high tides and lower low tides is called a?
When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.
How is neap tide and spring tide alike?
spring tide is when the moon and the sun are aligned and the force of gravity pulls the tides outward on the sides and thinner on top which makes high tides higher and low tides higher while neap tides are when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with the earth and sun and pull more to were low tides are lower and high tides are lower.
What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
When high tides are higher than normal what tides do they make neap or spring tides?
it makes spring tides. the way i remenber that is springs go high and and spring tides are higher than neap tides.
Are fall tides are higher than neap tides?
true
Does wind effects tides?
Yes that's why sometimes their has been some high tides that hasn't been as high or higher than before
What causes spring tides and neap tides in the ocean?
Spring tides are caused by the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
Are spring tides high or low in comparison to other types of tides?
Spring tides are higher than other types of tides.

Why are tides higher when the moon if full?
gravity
What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
How are spring and neap tides different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels?
Spring tides and neap tides are different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This means that spring tides have a greater impact on ocean water levels compared to neap tides.
Which tides are higher then normal during a high tide low or high tides and why?
do you mean spring tide
What are the tides during a full moon?
Tides are definitely affected by the position of the moon and the sun. When the moon is full, the tides tends to spring higher up, and thus these are called "spring tides."
