An atmospheric tide is a collective name for the pressure waves in the atmosphere similar to the tides of the ocean produced by the gravitational influence of the moon and by thermal expansion and contraction.

What factors cause a rising tide?

A rising tide, or high tide, is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on Earth’s oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force creates bulges of water, leading to higher water levels in certain areas. Additionally, the Earth's rotation and the shape of coastlines can influence tide patterns. Changes in atmospheric pressure and wind can also temporarily affect tide levels.


Lower than normal high tide?

A lower than normal high tide can be caused by factors such as the position of the moon, atmospheric pressure, and winds. Low tides can also be influenced by the topography of the coastline and the shape of the seabed in a particular area. Additionally, tides are part of a complex system that can vary throughout the year and in different locations.


What is a storm tide?

A storm tide is an above-normal rise of water level caused by a storm, such as a hurricane or a tropical cyclone. It results from a combination of high astronomical tides and the low atmospheric pressure and strong onshore winds associated with the storm, leading to coastal flooding and potentially destructive impacts on coastal communities.


How does low tide happen?

When the Sun and Moon pull the sea water from shore there is a low tide. Where I live (Sweden's west coast) the atmospheric pressure and the winds have a greater influence than the Sun and Moon. So when there is high pressure and/or the winds have blown to the West or North, we have low tides.


What is tubes tide?

It seems there may be a typo in your question. If you are asking about "tube tides," they refer to tidal movements caused by the gravitational influence of the moon and sun on the Earth's atmosphere. These tides create atmospheric pressure variations that can affect weather patterns.


What are different kinds of tide?

you have a high tide and low tide, tides are affected by the Moon. There is also something called Neap tide and Spring tide. Spring tide occurs in spring and sometime throughout the year. Neap tide is when there is a higher low tide and a lower low tide. Spring tide is when there is a higher low tide and lower high tide
