In some areas, there is something known as "extreme tides"or "spring tides" where the low tides are really low and the high tides are really high. In some areas, these spring tides can be so extreme that the tide difference is several feet. When the high tide comes in from these extreme spring tides, they quickly come in, at several meters per sec, and flood the entire beach area. Tourists that come to places like these are usually unaware of the dangers associated with extreme spring tides and drown when they are on the beach when the tide comes in. Signs are posted at these beaches to warn visitors of these dangerous extreme spring tides.

What are the effect of high tides?
Flooding of low areas, which would definitely affect the economy of the country.
What is abeach wall called?
A beach wall is typically referred to as a "seawall." Seawalls are structures built along the shoreline to protect coastal areas from erosion and flooding caused by waves and tides.
What does the moon cause on the earth?
it's gravity disturbs the oceans. can cause giant waves.
What are especially weak tides called?
Especially weak tides are called neap tides. Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, which results in minimal tidal range.
What can tides cause in coastal areas?
Tides can cause erosion, flooding, and changes in water levels in coastal areas.
What are strong winds that cause heavy rain and flooding called?
Strong winds that cause heavy rain and flooding are called hurricanes.

How does the full moon and the new moon phases affect the east cost during a Nor'easter storm?
During the full moon and new moon the sprig tides occur, meaning the high tides are at their highest and the low tides are at their lowest. Large, intense storm systems such as nor'easters produce a storm surge as their winds push ocean water onto land, causing coastal flooding. If the storm surge comes in during high-tide the effect is called a storm tide as the two combine their heights and cause more flooding than if the storm surge could on its own. This is enhanced even more if it happens during the spring tides. By contrast, if the storm surge comes in at low tide, the flooding will be reduced.
Can rain cause flooding?
Yes. Excessive rainfall is the most common cause of flooding.
Can tornadoes do lots of flooding?
No. Tornadoes do not cause flooding.
What are the effect of high tides?
Flooding of low areas, which would definitely affect the economy of the country.
