What are the three types of tides?

Do high tides occur twice a day true or false?
True. High tides typically occur approximately twice a day. This is due to the gravitational pull of the moon causing water on Earth to bulge towards the moon, creating high tides on opposite sides of Earth as it rotates.
What events are caused by the motion of the sun and the moon?
The motion of the sun and moon causes phenomena such as day and night, the changing of the seasons, the tides, and solar and lunar eclipses. These events are influenced by the gravitational pull and positions of the sun and moon relative to Earth.
What effects is caused by the moon's gravity?
The main effect is the tides, Without the Moon's gravity the tides would be about one quarter as high as they are now, they would be the same every day, and there would be no spring tides or neap tides.
What is the scientific name for high tide and low tide?
The scientific terms for high tide and low tide are "high water" and "low water," respectively. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. The cycle of high and low tides occurs roughly every 12.5 hours, resulting in two high tides and two low tides each day.

What is difference between semi diurnal mixed and diurnal tides?
Semi-diurnal mixed tides have two high and two low tides per day with different intensities, while diurnal tides have one high and one low tide per day. Semi-diurnal tides are more common in coastal regions, while diurnal tides are more common in inland seas.
