The typical tidal range in the open ocean is about 0.6 meters (2 feet). As you get closer to the coast, however, this range gets much greater. Coastal tidal ranges vary globally and can differ anywhere from 1.8 meters to 3 meters (6–10 feet). The world's biggest tidal differential occurs in the Bay of Fundy in Eastern Canada, where the sea level changes by up to 17 meters (55 feet) during the day. Ungava Bay in Northern Quebec, north eastern Canada, is believed by some experts to have higher tidal ranges than the Bay of Fundy (about 17 metres or 56 ft), but it is free of pack ice for only about four months every year, whereas the Bay of Fundy rarely freezes. What is generally regarded as the next highest tidal range occurs in the Bristol Channel in the UK, where sea levels change by some 15 meters (49 feet). The smallest tidal ranges occur in the Mediterranean, Baltic, and Caribbean Seas. A point within a tidal system where the tidal range is almost zero is called an amphidromic point.
What else can I help you with?
What type of tide is created when the sun's gravitational pull on earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
Where is the sun earth and moon during the spring tide?
In space.
During what month does Spring tides occur and why?
A neap tide is a tide with the least difference between consecutive and low and high tides. A spring tides are combined forces which produce a tide with a greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides. They occur because the moons gravitational pull is pulling it.
Is high tide and low tide cause due to gravitation?
Yes, tides are caused by the gravitational attraction that the moon exerts on the Earth and its bodies of water.
Why does the time of day of high tide change?
The time of high (and low) tide depends on the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Since these are constantly changing, the time high tide occurs also changes.
Which of these will cause the greatest high tide?
when the moon is infront of the earth
What is the greatest tide?
the greatest tide is when you go some where in the middle of the where the tides start
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 is the connection of the tides the moon and the earth?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon upon the oceans of the earth. The sun has the greatest pull. The tides are greatest during a new moon when the sun and the moon are pulling from the same direction. The side of the earth that faces the sun usually has the high tide, while the side away from the sun has the low tide.
The greatest difference between low and high tide occurs during what tide?
spring tide .. ;)
What is The greatest level of high tide is called .?
The greatest level of high tide is called "spring tide." Spring tides occur when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned, resulting in the highest and lowest tides. This phenomenon typically happens during full moons and new moons, leading to a significant difference between high and low water levels.
What type of tide would Earth have when the moon is between the Earth and Sun?
High tide
The daily tidal range is greatest during which tide?
neap tidespring tide
When is the daily range greatest?
Neap tide.
When is tidal range the greatest?
Neap tide.
When the moon is closest to earth what kind of tide do you have?
A high tide.
Is it is high tide where you are is the tide high or low on the side of earth directly opposite you?
it is high tide
