What else can I help you with?
Does high tides occur when the moon is at perigee?
Yes
The moon travels around the earth its gravitational force pulls on water making two kinds of tides what are the two tides?
The two types of tides created by the moon's gravitational pull on Earth's water are high tides and low tides. High tides occur on the side of Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, while low tides occur at the points perpendicular to the moon.
Spring tides are unusually high and unusually low tides that occur when the moon earth and sun are all in line - during which moon phases do spring tides occur?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
Where do high tides occur?
High tides occur on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the side opposite the moon due to the gravitational pull of the moon. High tides also occur on a much smaller scale in some areas due to local factors like wind or the shape of the coastline.
What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
The highest high tides, known as spring tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing gravitational forces to combine. The lowest low tides, known as neap tides, occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, leading to gravitational forces partially cancelling each other out.
What phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
spring tides
Does high tides occur when the moon is at perigee?
Yes
Does high ocean tides occur when the moon is at perigee?

Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
The highest high tides, known as spring tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing gravitational forces to combine. The lowest low tides, known as neap tides, occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, leading to gravitational forces partially cancelling each other out.
What moon phases will a neap tide occur?
Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon phases. During these phases, the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower tidal ranges. This means that the high tides are not as high, and the low tides are not as low compared to spring tides, which occur during the full and new moon phases.
Does the time that the moon rises and sets have anything to do with the time that high tides and low tides occur?
yes
What is the difference between spring tide and neap tide?
Spring tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap tides are formed by the destructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align to make a right angle. Spring tides are therefore larger than neap tides, new moons and full moons occur in the spring tide but the 1st qauter of the moon and 3rd quarter of the moon occur in neap tides... tupac
