What causes earth high tides?
Tides are caused by both the Sun and The Moon. Tides are the result of both Gravity and momentum. Gravity attracts objects. This causes water on the Earth to rise up on the side of Earth facing the Sun and the Moon. Momentum tries to continue in the same direction. This causes water on the opposite side from the Sun and the Moon to rise up and keep going in the direction it was going as Earth turned away in response to the Sun's and the Moon's gravity. The Earth is also rotating. This brings different areas of the surface into line with the directions of gravity and momentum. To observers on the Earth, it appears that the tides rise and fall two times each day. But actually, the Earth's rotation has carried the person into the higher or lower regions caused by gravity and momentum. Since the Moon is orbiting the Earth, and the Earth is orbiting the Sun, sometimes there is an alignment between all these things. This causes the highest tides because the tides of both Sun and Moon will join together. The lowest tides occur when the Earth is at a 90° angle between the Sun and Moon. The tides of the Moon and Sun are at that time subtracting from each other.
When do the highest tides occur?
High tides are the biggest when the moon is Full or when the moon is a New Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is greatest at these phases which makes a bigger bulge in the ocean causing high tide. But it also depends on the time of year when the tides are low or high.
What is the earth doing when it is waxing?
The Moon is Waning at this time - growing smaller - light is on the left side and right side is darker each night. Or as stated from another web search "As the moon orbits the Earth, we see the moon in differing amounts of the sun's light. When the moon is farthest from the sun, the side facing Earth is in full sunlight. When it's closest to the sun, the side we see is in full shadow, and is called "New moon." In between those two phases, which are about 2 weeks apart, there's the "Waning moon", which means the sunlit side we see is getting smaller day to day, and then there's the "Waxing moon", which means that the sunlit side we see is getting larger day to day."
