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.

Or to phrase the question differently, "Who discovered the correct explanation for the phases of the moon." I too would like to know. Did ancient astronomers know that the moon was reflecting the sun? Did they further discern that the phases were a result of seeing half-illuminated sphere from a different angle.
This drawing by Galileo suggests that he had it figured out, but was he the first: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Galileo_moon_phases.jpg
What was the high and low teperature last Friday?
Sunrise/Sunset? Tides? Temperature? Stock exchange? Money Market?
What is the difference between the high tides and low tides?
because the high tides are tides that you you can like go into and the high tides make an arch so you can go in them. The low tides cant push you down and the are like you getting splashed by someone.
The process by which organisms keep their internal conditions relatively stable is called homeostasis.
Although it is not officially a life function, without it, it would be very hard to survive.
The condition is constantly being threatened by changes in the environment, such as shifting temperatures and changing light. An example of homeostasis being carried out is when your breathing and heart rate automatically pick up in order to keep your cells supplied with enough oxygen when you're exercising, or when your pupils dilate in the dark to let more light in. Slowing down all body functions in cases of extreme cold is another example; in some animals this process can go so far as to become hibernation, and helps the animal to survive until food is plentiful again.
Are tides the same on all coastlines?
Tides are the same, but the same type of tide could or could not be happening in another place.
How often do tides change in one day?
The tides change during the day, depending on the moon phases. If there are full moons or new moons, or every 14 days, a spring tide occurs. Every first or third/last quarter, a neap tide occurs. These also effect the tidal ranges of low and High.
Hope I helped!
Why are tides low during the winter time?
The Tides are created the same way in winter as they are during the rest of the year. They are created by the Moon's gravitational pull.
How Compare and contrast perigee tides and spring tides?
A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned with each other. In this condition, the gravity from the Sun and Moon accentuate each other and you have a higher than normal tide. This occurs about every 14 days, and is not called spring tide because of the season of spring; it is called spring tide because the tides spring up, so to speak.
A neap tide, on the other hand, is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a 90 degree angle. In this condition, the gravity from the Sun and Moon partially cancel each other and you have a lower than normal tide.

Why does the earth experience high and low tides?
The gravitational effect of the moon causes both the high tide and low tides. The gravity of the moon attracts water which then is attracted by the much powerful force of the earth. These gravitational forces cause low and high tides.
A tide cottage is a term used to describe a coastal property located within close proximity to the shoreline. These cottages are often built on or near the beach and are known for their picturesque views and easy access to the water.
The human body has a 24 hour circadian rhythm.The Earth's oceans have tides that occur every day.
They aren't scientifically connected to each other in any known way(s), though many people say tides and weather affect sleep patterns and enhance or disrupt the body's circadian rhythm.
How do different surfaces effect speed?
Well aerodynamics are one thing because if you have a car shape like the Nissan Cube it will not go as fast because of it boxy shape but if you have a car shape like like the Lamborghini Gallardo air flow will be easier to go around the car making the go faster but if you do have a car shape like the Gallardo there will be a lot of down force because it is a super car so, yep.
When the tides are especially weak it's called a tide?
During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.
During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.
A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA). Nucleotides play a crucial role in storing and transferring genetic information and are involved in various cellular processes, including energy transfer and signaling.
What are two types of tides that occur during a month?
please answer the question I need to know now. this is very important I have a final exam.
A heap tide is a term used to describe a phenomenon where debris, such as driftwood or seaweed, accumulates in large amounts on a beach or coastline as a result of strong winds, currents, or storms. It can create a significant buildup of material and may impact the ecosystem and local communities.
When is low tide season in Shoal Cave in Pokemon Ruby?
I'm not really sure when it's low tide, but when you start the game if you set your clock as, '6:00pm', then the whole entire time you play, the tide is low.
