4. Tides The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun creates tides on the Earth.

5. High Tides During 24 hours period, two high tides occur. High tides occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line with one another. Each side of the earth that is in line with the sun and moon experiences this type of tide.

6. Low Tides As earth rotates, the tides move around the Earth alternating between high and low tides approximately every 6 hours. In a 24 hour time period, two low tides occur. Low tides occur on each side of the earth when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another.

8. Tidal range is the vertical distance in the height of the water between high and low tides. Ranges vary worldwide, from less than 30 cm (1 ft) in some places to over 15 meters (50 ft). 6 hours. Tidal range 30 ft tidal range

9. Spring Tides Spring tides are especially strong tides and have the greatest tidal range. Spring tides occur every two weeks when the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment. These greater than average tidal ranges occur twice a month, during new and full moons, and are called spring tides.

10. Neap Tides Neap tides are especially weak tides and have the smallest tidal range. When the moon is at a right angle to the sun and earth, the moon’s gravitational pull is at right angles to the sun’s lesser gravitational pull. Neap tides occur twice a month, during the first and third quarter moons.
