Tides occur in all oceans of the Earth and to a very small degree in large lakes.
High tide occurs on two opposite sides of the Earth simultaneously. These locations change as the Moon goes around the Earth. Generally speaking, high tides form on the portion of Earth facing directly toward the Moon and on the portion of Earth facing directly away from the Moon. Low tides are between high tides on the other portions of the Earth.
That is the quick explanation, but there is a more nuanced explanation.
Ocean tides are caused by the Moon, or more specifically by the mutual attraction of the Earth and the moon as the Moon orbits the Earth. There are two things going on, one is the gravitational attraction and the other is centripetal force since both the Earth and the Moon are rotating about their center of mass.
For reasons that are a little difficult to get into now, the high tide does not exactly follow the Moon. Generally there is a slight lag of around an hour, but this varies from place to place. The tides, obviously, represent a shift in the ocean, so it takes time for the water to respond. In addition, that response is affected by the shape of the shore, both when it occurs and how large the tide is. Weather, such as storms, also influences the ocean levels and interacts with tides.
What else can I help you with?
What parts of the earth experience high tides?
Well if you think about the moon's gravity pulls the water to create tide, then the gravity would be strongest closer to the moon, so then whatever part of the Earth if closest to the moon a high tide will be experienced as will the part of the earth opposite.
What are the high part of the crust?
The mountain tops are the high part of the Earth's crust.
Which part of the earth's surface experience least variation in incoming solar radiation throughout the year?
equatorial region
Which part of earth is sleeping.?
The phrase "sleeping" is not typically used to describe a specific part of the Earth. If you are referring to the time when a specific location is at night (when it is dark and people are usually sleeping), that would vary based on the time zone and rotation of the Earth.
The is the part of the Earth's interior where rocks start to melt?
The answer is the asthenosphere, the crust is part of the lithosphere, which is part of the outer portion of the earth (the part we live on), the asthenosphere is just below it and the point where rocks begin to melt.

What are the high part of the crust?
The mountain tops are the high part of the Earth's crust.
Which part of the Earth experience the day?
The side facing the sun
Why does the other side of the earth experience night?
when Earth rotates on its axis then one side of the Earth turns toward sun and the other part is at dark side.so we experience dark.
What are the high parts of the crust?
The mountain tops are the high part of the Earth's crust.
What is another example of mountain?
It is high raised part of the earth
What is the densest part of earth?
The inner core is the densest part of the Earth, with a composition of mostly iron and nickel. It is solid due to immense pressure, despite the high temperatures.
Which part of da earth surface does not experience seasion?
The equator is a region on Earth's surface that does not experience distinct seasons. This is because the equator receives relatively consistent sunlight throughout the year due to its position along the Earth's axis.
What experience is needed to become a high school teacher?
Part of the training for your teacher's degree is visitations; that gives you experience at teaching a class for practise.
What is the soprano part in a musical?
Soprano is usually a singer who sings the high octaves of a song, usually played by a women
Why cant the whole part of earth experience day at the same time?
the earth rotates on an axis. When it rotates, half of it is exposed and half of it is not.
