Tides are generally higher in higher latitudes compared to the tropics due to the shape and dynamics of ocean basins. In higher latitudes, the continental shelf is often broader and shallower, which amplifies tidal ranges through a process called resonance. Additionally, the Coriolis effect is stronger at higher latitudes, influencing tidal currents and contributing to larger tidal variations. In contrast, the narrower, deeper ocean basins in tropical regions tend to produce smaller tidal ranges.
What else can I help you with?
What line of latitude falls between the tropics of Capricorn and cancer?
All of them do that have latitudes greater than -23.5
When high tides are higher than normal what tides do they make neap or spring tides?
it makes spring tides. the way i remenber that is springs go high and and spring tides are higher than neap tides.
On a map of average annual temperature why are the lower latitudes so much warmer than the higher latitudes?
On a map of average annual temperature why are the lower latitudes so much warmer than the higher latitudes?
What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
Why are there no tides at the equator?
Average temperature: 60 degrees F

Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".

Are fall tides are higher than neap tides?
true
Are spring tides high or low in comparison to other types of tides?
Spring tides are higher than other types of tides.
Why are waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?
Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.
Why are the waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?
Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.
Are high tides higher than usual or lower than usual?
High tides are typically higher than usual during periods of increased gravitational pull from the moon and sun, such as during a full moon or new moon. Additionally, weather conditions and geographical factors can also influence the height of high tides.
Why do tornadoes travel faster than hurricanes?
Hurricanes are tropical weather systems while significant tornadoes generally occur in the temperate latitudes. The wind currents that move storms in the tropics are generally weaker than those that move storms in the temperate latitudes.
When do you have tides?
Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.
What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
