How many high tides in a week?
There are 14 high tides.
How often does high and long tides happens?
High and low tides occur twice daily due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Spring tides, which are especially high and low tides, occur approximately every two weeks, during the full and new moons. Neap tides, which are less extreme, occur about a week after spring tides. Overall, the tidal cycle is a continuous process influenced by various factors, including the lunar cycle and geographical location.
What is The greatest level of high tide?
There is no such word as astronomically. It must have been used a thousand times in the last week. There are two astronomical tides every 24 hours. ( Maybe its just weather reporting license.)
In most coastal areas there are two high tides every day. What causes the two tides?
The Moon's gravity causes the high tides and low tides. Two tides happen each day, because the Earth and Moon actually form an orbital pair: that is, the Earth is not exactly 'stationary' with the Moon circling around it. Rather, it 'wobbles' a bit, away from the Moon as it orbits. This means that on the side of the Earth opposite the Moon, a 'bulge' of water is created due to Centrifugal Force. This is the other high tide, and it is always somewhat smaller than the high caused directly by the gravity of the moon. The actual height of the tides varies due to distance of the Moon (like all orbits, it is not exactly circular, but elliptical, and the distance between Earth and Moon varies). The Sun also exerts a considerable force, hence tides are bigger at Full Moon (Moon and Sun opposite each other), and even larger at New Moon (Moon and Sun pulling together on the same side of Earth). Because the Moon orbits a spinning Earth, it rises later each day at any given location, and so the tides get later (by approx 50 minutes) each day. By coincidence (?) this means that in a week, the tides have become later by approx 6 hours (7X50 minutes) so if high tide is, say, 8 o'clock today, it will be low tide at 8 o'clock (approx) in a week's time.
Why does the Bay of Fundy have such dramatic tides?
The Bay of Fundy, in Eastern Canada, has the highest tidal range in the world, equalled only by Leaf Basin for Ungava Bay, north of Quebec. This means that the distance between high and low tide is 17 meters (55 feet). Why? Tides rise and fall from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Every full moon and every new moon (that is, about every two weeks) the moon and the sun are in a line on one side of the earth. This produces spring tides (very high and very low). One week later we have neap tides, (not very high and not very low). Another factor might be the slope of the seabed and the funnelling effect of the bay.

Do high tides occur twice a week?
Yes, but only in the sense that they then go on to occur three times, and four times, and five times, and ...In most places there are about 13 and a half high tides per week on average.

Why does the position of the ocean ellipse change over the course of a given week?
The position of the ocean ellipse changes over the course of a week due to the gravitational forces of the sun and moon, which cause tides to shift. These forces create a cyclical pattern of high and low tides that vary throughout the week. Additionally, factors such as seasonal changes, wind patterns, and underwater geography can also influence the position of the ocean ellipse.

What happens during a Spring Tide?
I am in third grade and this question is a hard one to answer but i spend a week studying nd googleing the hellhell t of this question d got this The moon is at an angle that lines up directly between the earth and the sun ....true story
If low tide occurred at 7am today what time will low tide occur there in one week?
Tides follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, with low tides occurring approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes. Therefore, if low tide occurred at 7 AM today, in one week, low tide will occur at about 7:25 AM. This slight shift is due to the lunar cycle affecting the timing of the tides.

How many days pass between the lowest and highest tidal range?
The tidal range varies due to the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, typically cycling through a pattern of spring and neap tides. Spring tides, which have the highest tidal range, occur approximately every two weeks during the full and new moons. Neap tides, which have the lowest tidal range, occur about a week after the spring tides. Therefore, roughly 7 to 14 days pass between the lowest and highest tidal ranges.
Explain the difference between a neap tide and a spring tide?
This is when the Moon and Sun are either together in the sky or are on opposite sides of the heavens. Higher tides occur during these Moon phases because the Sun also exerts a gravitational pull on our oceans, although it is only 46 percent as strong as the Moon's. When the gravitational effects of the Sun and the Moon combine, we get spring tides, which have nothing to do with the season of spring. The term refers to the action of the seas springing out and then springing back. These are times of high high tides and low low tides. A week later, during either of the two quarter Moon phases, when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other and their tidal influences partially cancel each other out, neap tides occur, and the tidal range is minimal. In fact, because the oceans take a bit of time to catch up to the geometry of the Moon, spring and neap tides usually occur about a day after the respective lunar cycles.
