What causes daily high and low tides?
The moon and earths gravitational pull (gravity)
Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?
same
Most ocean locations have two high tides and two low tides daily because?
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. 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.
Can high tides and low tides be predicted?
maybe it depands on the weather
What do differences in the moons and suns pull on different sides of earth cause?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
What would happen to earth if it lost its moon?
High tides wouldn't be as high and low tides wouldn't be as low.
How frequently do high and low tides occur in most locations on Earth?
High and low tides typically occur twice a day in most locations on Earth.
How often, in most locations on earth, do high and low tides occur?
High and low tides typically occur twice a day in most locations on Earth.
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
Do gravitational forces create high or low tides?
For Earth, both high and low tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
What does the gravitational that the moon exerts on earth cause?
The gravitational pull of the moon causes tides on Earth. This pull creates a bulging effect in the ocean waters, leading to high and low tides as the Earth rotates.
Why do you have high and low tides at the beach?
Due to the gravitational pull on the earth from the moon and the sun. The moon pulls the water from the earth towards it and so does the sun. Low tides are called Neap tides and are low because the pull from the sun and the moon cancel each other out (it would be much easier to explain using a diagram) High tides are spring tides and are high because the sun and the moon are alligned, creating a strong force.
What cause the earth to experience high and low tides daily?
The earth's rotation and the proximity of the moon (and the sun to a lesser degree) cause high and low tides each day.
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
What are the two types of two tides?
The two types of tides are spring tides and neap tides. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme high and low tides.
Which type of tide occurs when the sun the moon and the earth are aligned?
Spring Tides. That is the High tide is very high and the low tide is very low. When the Sun, Earth and Moon are at 'right-angles to each other, then we have Neap Tides. The height range between high and low tides is much less than Spring Tides.
