Yes. As the earth rotates from east to west, the pull of the gravity of the moon (which causes tides), moves across the earth from east to west.

Do high tides occur later in the west true or false?

Yes


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.


True or false spring tides occur primarily during April and may?

True. Spring tides, which have higher than normal high tides and lower than normal low tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned. This alignment typically happens during the full moon and new moon phases, which often occur in April and May.

Why do tides occur twice a day?

During any 24 hour period, the moon nearly completes one revolution around earth [apparent motion, not true motion]. Combined tidal forces cause a bulge in the earth's water at the location roughly below the moon and also at the part of the earth opposite that location. A scarcity of water occurs in the places roughly at 90 degrees to those locations. So as the earth moves through a day, it 'passes under' two high tides and two low tides.
