Ocean Tides
Affected by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, sea levels rise and fall on a daily basis. Ask questions here about high tide, low tide, spring tide and neap tide.

How can you calculate low tide to high tide?
well,this is one way, what happens is there is a long line of string which has every 10cm marked out on it. at the bottom of the string is a piece of led to weigh the string down.
you drop the string in the water and bring it back up again when it reaches the bottom of the water. you will know how high it is when you see where the string is wet,then feel your way up to where it's not then calculate how high the sea level is with the 10cm lines marked out
What is the height of high tide?
it's not one absolute number. It varies from one locale to the next, and at given locale, it varies from one day to the next.
What alignment of the earth moon and sun cause the spring and neap tides?
The Earth's 23.5 degree tilt with respect to the orbital or ecliptic plane causes the Sun to rise higher in the sky during the summer months and lower in the winter months.. The spring and autumnal equinoxes correspond to the days on which the Sun is positioned directly over the equator and is observed to rise directly in the Eastern sky, resulting in exactly the same amount of daylight and nighttime everywhere on Earth.
How long does it take to go from one high tide to the next high tide?
On average, high tides are separated by about 12 hours and 24 minutes. The 12 hours is because of earth's rotation, and the 24 minutes is compensation for the movement of the moon. So low tides would be about half way through those 12 hour 24 minute periods.
How many time can you do hand practice in a month?
It could be 30 times a month, or more, or less.
For one thing, it depends on the individual and how frequently he feels like having sexual activity.
It also depends on how much partner sex he is gitting.
It also depends on how busy or bored he is, or how tired or energetic.
It also depends on his attitudes and beliefs. Some men consider masturbation sinful or childish and may avoid it. Others consider it a normal activity and a good way to relax.
How often does a high tide occur?
twice in a 24 hour period. the moon controls the tides, so high tide is when the moons gravitational pull is centered on the area. the second time is when the moons gravitational pull is on the exact opposite side of the earth.
How do you measure a high tide on an open beach?
Tides are measured from a datum called the Mean Sea Level
What causes ocean tides to reach higher up on a shore at certain times of day than at others?
The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation
What does mean lower low water mean?
Due to the moon's gravitational pull on the big oceans water will move away and towards the beaches at a certain interval, and these are called tides. When the water is pulled towards the shore you get high tides and when water is pulled away from the shore you get low tide.
What month does a neap tide occur?
A Neap tide occurs when the sun's influence partially cancels out the effect of the moon's control of the tides. The effect is strongest when the sun is at a ninety degree angle to the moon, imagine a clock face with the Earth in the middle, the moon at 12 and the sun at the 9 position, this results in a Neap tide which means that there is less variation between high and low tides.
What causes tides and what affects their heights?
Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
Where does the world's shortest tide occur?
I believe it's the Mississippi, with the Bristol Channel being the second fastest.
Are tides at their highest during neap tides?
No
Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low.
Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.
150 feet deep. you will this on the travel channel. it comes on rarely so check it everyday.
How are dry land tides different from ocean tides?
Ocean tides are controlled by the moon's gravitational pull on the worlds oceans, a current is the flow of water in a somewhat circular system. a tide is like taking a bowl of water and tilting it so that one side is deeper that the other, and a current is like taking a mixer to it and stirring it around.
What is is most frequently responsible for changes in ocean tides?
it is the gravitational pull of the moon and also the sun.
When something tides you over, it keeps you going for the time being.
Example
You take your camera outside on a sunny day, but you have forgotten the lens hood. You make an improvised hood out of a roll of paper and an elastic band. That tides you over until you get the hood.
What is the interval between two primary tides?
Approximately 7.3825 days. That is one quarter of the synodic period of 29.53 days for the moon to go from one phase to the next same phase. Spring tide is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up with each other, and the Sun's and Moon's gravities maximally reinforce each other, and neap tide is when they form an angle of 90 degrees, with the Earth at the vertex, and the Sun's and Moon's gravities maximally cancel each other out.
