The moon exerts a gravitational pull on earth. As a result, the ocean and Earth itself is pulled towards the moon. Confusingly, this means that the ocean bulges at the side closest to the moon as well as on the side furthest from the moon. As the Earth spins underneath the moon (one full spin for every 24 hours) so the swelled oceans move along the surface of Earth to stay positioned below the moon. As a result, the tides are high twice a day and low twice a day.

∙ 14y agoBecause when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth the moon and suns gravitational poles are causing tides.

∙ 9y agoWhen the moon is facing one side of the earth, it pulls harder with its gravity. This creates a high tide. When the pressure is less, there is a low tide.

∙ 15y agowhy are tides higher than others is cause it depends on the climate and height of the water why are tides higher than others is cause it depends on the climate and height of the water

∙ 8y agoTides are affected by the pull of gravity due to the proximity of the moon, the sun and the rotation of the earth, so when the moon is closer to the earth, the tides are higher.

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.
A tide that result when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combine to create higher high tides and lower low tides is called a?
When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.
What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the Moon were closer to the Earth, the high tides would be higher, and the low tides would be lower.
When high tides are higher than normal what tides do they make neap or spring tides?

Are fall tides are higher than neap tides?
true
Does wind effects tides?
Yes that's why sometimes their has been some high tides that hasn't been as high or higher than before

Why are tides higher when the moon if full?
gravity
What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
Are high tides higher than usual or lower than usual?
Every state of the tide is higher than low tide.
Which tides are higher then normal during a high tide low or high tides and why?
do you mean spring tide
What are the tides during a full moon?
Tides are definitely affected by the position of the moon and the sun. When the moon is full, the tides tends to spring higher up, and thus these are called "spring tides."
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the Moon were closer to the Earth, the high tides would be higher, and the low tides would be lower.
What tides are durring a full moon?
During a full moon, the tides become higher than normal. These high tides may sometimes be called spring tides. Tides are created by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon.
