The height difference between high and low tide varies in different places and at different times according to the earth's position relative to the sun and moon. The weather and prevailing winds also affect tide heights.
The place with the greatest tidal rise/fall is generally considered to be in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, which, on occasions can have a high/low tidal difference of some 21 metres (about 70 feet).
However, Ungava Bay (Canada) is a close contender. After long and careful comparison of the data, the Canadian Hyrodrographic Service has ruled that both places are joint first in the high/low tides competition!)

What else can I help you with?
The greatest difference in water level between a low tide and a high tide occurs because of what alignment of the Moon Sun and Earth?
neap tide A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are all in a line (full or new moon), and causes the greatest tidal differences because the Sun and Moon act together to create one large tidal bulge
What kind of tide will occur when the moon is at positions a c d or f?
When the moon is at positions a, c, or f (new moon, first quarter, third quarter), neap tides will occur. Neap tides have the least difference between high and low tide levels. When the moon is at position d (full moon), spring tides will occur, which have the greatest difference between high and low tide levels.
What is the greatest difference between high and low tide in a tidal cycle?
The greatest difference between high and low tide in a tidal cycle is known as the tidal range. This range can vary depending on the location and the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. In general, areas with larger tidal ranges experience more extreme high and low tides compared to areas with smaller tidal ranges.
Is a neap tide considered high or low?
Ah, understanding the tides is truly a gift. During a neap tide, the variation between high and low tide is not as pronounced as during a spring tide. It's like a gentler rise and fall of the ocean, where both highs and lows are not extreme. Like a soft whisper in nature's own rhythm.
What is a sentence using the word tide?
I can give you several sentences.The tide ebbs and flows daily.We waited until low tide to look for seashells."The tide is high, but I'm holding on." (From "The Tide is High" by Blondie)
The greatest difference between low and high tide occurs during what tide?

True or false the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
True!
What is the difference between the levels at high and low tide?
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
What is the differences of high tide and low tide?
Low tide is when the waves of the ocean dont reach as far inland, and high tide is obviously when the tide reaches farther inland. This depends on the moon as well.
Where are tides largest?
The largest tides are in the Bay Of Fundy, with differences of as much as 48 feet between high and low tide
How long is the duration between high tide and low tide?
The duration between high tide and low tide is typically around 6 hours and 12.5 minutes.
Which of these will cause the greatest high tide?
when the moon is infront of the earth
The difference between rock pools high tide and low tide?
at low tide rockpools are pools at high tide they are part of the sea...
What is the largest known horizontal distance between high tide shoreline and low tide shoreline?
The tidal range is the vertical difference between the high tide and the succeeding low tide.
What is the area between high tide and low tide called?
beach
