Tides are caused by gravity. On the Earth they are a combination of the Sun and the Moon affecting the water. Very strong tides, perhaps on other planets, could cause plates to move and faults to appear in the ground.
Yes, hurricanes can cause strong rip tides. The high winds and large waves generated by hurricanes can disrupt the ocean's surface and create powerful currents that flow away from the shore, leading to dangerous rip tides. Swimmers and beachgoers should exercise caution during and after a hurricane to avoid the risk of rip tides.
Tides cannot be perfectly predicted because they are influenced by various factors such as wind, weather, and the shape of the coastline. These factors can cause fluctuations in the height and timing of tides, making it challenging to predict them with absolute accuracy.
No, spring tides have the highest high tides and lowest low tides compared to other types of tides.
The moon and the sun are the two main celestial bodies that cause the Earth's tides. The gravitational pull of the moon is the primary force behind ocean tides, while the sun's pull also contributes to a lesser extent.
While hurricanes can cause rip tides. The waves they cause are generally called "storm surge".

Clouds do not cause tides. Tides are caused by the pull of the Moon's gravity.
it's gravity disturbs the oceans. can cause giant waves.
Tides can cause erosion, flooding, and changes in water levels in coastal areas.
