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.

What causes ocean tides to reach higher up on a shore at certain times of day than at other?
The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation
The difference between rock pools high tide and low tide?
at low tide rockpools are pools at high tide they are part of the sea...
Why does the time of each high tide get about half an hour later every day?
bla bla bla hahahahahhahah panget nang nagbabasa n2 ble :P =P
Why is there a high tide on the far side of the Earth?
Tides occur because the strength of an object's gravity depends on the distance from that object. Gravity is stronger at smaller distances. The moons gravity pulls Earth toward it, causing Earth to wobble around a point about a thousand miles below the surface as the moon orbits. Since the water on the far side of Earth experience slightly less lunar gravity than the rest of the planet it lags behind a bit, creating a high tide.
What is the force that pulls the oceans to mske the tides?
It is the gravitation attraction on the World's oceans from our Sun and Moon.
How are waves created by the moon?
The moon has a gravity like the earth and therefore as it changes from a full moon to crecent so dose the gravitational pull. It is this gravitational pull on the sea that causes waves and high and low tide.
The wind can also have an effect on how strong or high the waves will be
When is next proxigean spring tide?
Usually the proxigean tides happen when there is constructive interference of the lunar and solar tide bulges (a spring tide) AND when the moon is closest to earth (perigee).
These two phenomena have to coincide for this to happen.
If you can find a matching date between these two, you will find a date for an upcoming proxigean tide.
Clearly the individual who left the comment below is either thinking impaired, has never used natural herb, or both. I wonder if he ever partakes of alchahol.....if so you also a hiporcrit. Now, if you are getting high to help with stress / depression, a chronic condition, insomnia, etc you have likely made a more healthy choice than a man made chemical that ends with -oride or -azapam! In most cases you don't need to have too much (2 to 4 tokes) in order to help with pain, depression, insomnia, etc. If you are using herb just for the sake of getting blitzed out of your mind...maybe talk to a friend about why you might feel the need to do this. Not a great habit. That said.....it's still far better for you than drinking alchahol until you are drunk for hours.

Until your faced with the sad reality of your life.
Does a person weigh less at high tide than at low tide?
The answer is no. high nor low tides have any effect on gravity and the pull on a person in relation to it, unless of course you are standing on a scale in the ocean and at low tide the water is at your ankles and at high tide at your throat. This is a whole different story.
What phase of the moon causes the highest tides?
If you mean which of these bodies has the strongest gravitational field then the Sun wins by a very large margin. This is because the strength of a gravitational field is governed by an object's mass and the Sun is the heaviest. After that the Earth is the most massive and finally the moon.
So the order is Sun, Earth and Moon.
When boating on coastal waters its important to be aware of the tides what Can tides cause?
hurricans
When the ocean water dips lower than its average?
Spring tides are when high water is far up the beach, and low water is far down the beach. Neap tides don't move up or down the beach as spring tides, so they are in between.
high tides are high water level they are called spring tides and low tides are low water level they are called neap tides. high tides and low tides occur when the sun, earth and the moon are inline. during new moon there are high tides at west and east and low tides at north and west, because the direction which the moon is facing that direction will have a high tide.
Why can't a big ship dock in the harbor during low tide?
because it sits to low in the water for the water to be deep enough at low tide
Most ocean locations have two high tides and two low tides daily because?
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.
What is between the moon and earth causes tides in oceans?
Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are.
The most obvious effect of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, is the tides visible on beaches.
