The gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon, and their varying positions.
The moon causes the earths water to have a low tide or a high tide
A mixed semidiurnal tide is a type of tide pattern where two high tides and two low tides occur each day, but with varying heights. This means that the high and low tides are not of equal height, creating a mix of semidiurnal (twice daily) tide characteristics.
Storm tide occurs when the storm surge of a hurricane comes in on top of high tide. The heights of the storm surge and high tide are added together, resulting in worse flooding than if they same storm had struck at low tide.
No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.
Rise and fall of sea levels is called tide. When the sun and moon are at right angles to the earth, the sun partially contracts the pull of the moon, producing lower high tides typical of a neap tide.

2 high tides and 2 low tides in one day. All of them have different heights (Ex. One high high tide, then one high low tide, then a low high tide, then a low low tide.

spring tide .. ;)
The Moon
at low tide rockpools are pools at high tide they are part of the sea...
The current can change how high the tide is and can make the sand different heights.
tidal range
The neap tide. This tide happens when the Moon is at first quarter and last quarter and has the least influence on the tide.
