What are semidiurnal tides?

Semidiurnal tides are tides that have two high tides and two low tides of about the same height each day. This pattern occurs because the Earth experiences two high and two low tidal bulges due to the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.


Are tides caused the Earth rotating?

Not directly. The tides are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun. Since gravity decreases with increasing distance from an object, the moon's gravitational pull on Earth is strongest on the side facing the moon and weakest on the side facing away. This results in what we call tidal bulges on those sides, which correspond to high tide. As Earth rotates the side facing the moon changes. When the moon is on horizon and rising the tide will be low. Six hours later, when Earth's rotation brings us closest to the moon, high tide will occur.


What do you call it when planets align?

A syzygy


What do you call moderate tides?

That'd be the most common type of tide and it'd simply be called mean(as in average) tide.


What do you call the largest tides?

the different tides are high tide, low tide, neaptide, and spring tide. high tide is when the moon is pulling the water into the land on on side of the earth, but on the closest, it is low tide, because it is also pulling it away from land. neap tide is when every thing is eutral, and the same, balanced. the spring tide it when its unnaturally high, or just unnaturally low...... just higher, or lower than high or low tides.

How is a tidal range affected when the moon earth and sun are in line?

Spring tides occur in principle when the three objects are lined up so that the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are combined. In practice in many places the spring tides occur 1-2 days later. Tides are a proximity effect, which means that the Moon's effect on the tides is the major effect because it's closer, while the Sun's overall gravitational force on the Earth is much stronger. Tides happen because the Moon's gravity is much stronger on one side of the Earth than the other, because it's close, while the difference is not so much with the Sun's gravity because it's a lot further away.

Tide are especially high or low when the moon is full or new?

Yes, tides are especially high when the moon is full or new due to the combined gravitational pull of the moon and sun aligning. This alignment creates spring tides, where high tides are higher and low tides are lower than usual.

What are the different phases of the moon and how do they affect Earth's tides and natural rhythms?

The different phases of the moon are new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. The gravitational pull of the moon affects Earth's tides, causing high and low tides. The moon's phases also influence natural rhythms in plants and animals, such as breeding and migration patterns.


What do you call the area between tides?

It is called the tidal plain.


How do you call the pulling force between the moon and the tides?

gravity


How does a full moon affect the tides?

A full moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes higher high tides and lower low tides, known as spring tides. This occurs because the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, creating stronger gravitational forces that influence the ocean's water levels.


How do the gravitational forces of the moon and sun interact to create tides on Earth?

The gravitational forces of the moon and sun pull on the Earth's oceans, causing them to bulge out. This creates high tides where the bulges occur and low tides in other areas. The combined effect of the moon and sun's gravitational forces results in the regular pattern of tides we observe on Earth.
