How many high tides happen at a given coast in any 24 hr period?
On average, most coasts experience two high tides and two low tides every 24-hour period. This pattern is known as a semidiurnal tidal cycle.
What are the two different ways to classify tides?
in and out the tide is out the tide is in
Where is Tidal Energy found on Earth?
There is a large tidal energy scheme at Rance in northern France. There are smaller ones in other parts of the world. Tidal mills were once fairly common in Britain. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon. These forces translate into high and low tides, on the earth. Tidal energy is transferred from the moon to the earth by tidal torque. This results in tidal lock. This is why you always see the same side of the moon
What is the body of water with the highest tides?
The body of water with the highest tides is the Bay of Fundy in Canada. It is known for having the largest tidal range in the world, with tides reaching up to 50 feet high.
How does tidal fuel work?
Wave or tidal energy is a great, environmentally friendly means of generating energy. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power tidal energy is the best energy to use BUT there are a lot of con's to this source also so if you use this be generate of it.
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.

Witch tides have maximum tidal range?
Spring tides have a greater tidal range than neap tides.
How many times a day do ebb tides occur?
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)
Why aren't high ocean tides exactly 12 hours apart?
High ocean tides are not exactly 12 hours apart because the Earth rotates within the gravitational field of the moon, causing the tidal bulges to shift slightly every day. This leads to a tidal cycle that is typically around 12 hours and 25 minutes, known as the semidiurnal tide pattern. Multiple factors, such as the shape of coastlines and ocean basins, can also influence the timing and intensity of tides.
A tidal period is how long?
A tidal period is typically around 12 hours and 25 minutes, representing the time it takes for a full cycle of two high tides and two low tides to occur in a specific location.
Full tidal cycle is?
A full tidal cycle consists of two high tides and two low tides, occurring roughly every 12 hours and 25 minutes. This cycle is driven by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun acting on the Earth's oceans. The height and timing of the tides can be influenced by factors such as the phase of the moon, the sun's position, and local geography.
Which tides have maximum tidal range?
A spring tide has the greatest tidal range. A neap tide has a smaller tidal range.
How many times do ebb tides occur in a day?
About 2. The lunar tidal cycle is 12 hours & 25 min. (Note that not all tides are lunar.)
Do High tides and low tide occur in a 25 hour cycle?
High tides and low tides do not follow a strict 25-hour cycle. Instead, they occur approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes due to the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun influencing the Earth's oceans. The time difference between high tides is known as the tidal cycle.
Witch tide has minimum tidal range?
Neap tides have a lesser tidal range than spring tides.
When are tides there highest?
Spring tides have the greatest tidal range.
