Question

differentiate between high and low tides plz give 3 points answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hey Mate......

Here is the answer........

High tide -

High tide is also known as Spring tides. It happens when the sun moon and the earth are in same line.

Low tide -

It is also known as neap tides. It happens when the sun moon and earth form a 90° angle.

Depending on the location and the relative position of the Earth to the moon and sun – the celestial bodies that create tides by exerting a gravitational force on our planet – the difference between high and low tide, the “tidal range,” may be small or dramatically large.

Wherever the moon is, as it orbits the Earth, there is a high tide ‘bulge’ that stays lined up with the Moon. The side of the Earth that is furthest from the Moon also has a high tide ‘bulge’. This is because the Earth is closer to the moon than the water on its far side. The Moon’s gravity pulls more on the planet than the water on the opposite side. These two water bulges on opposite sides of the Earth aligned with the Moon are the high tides. Since ocean water is pulled higher in the areas of the two high tides, there is less water in between the two high tides. These areas are the low tides

Answer 2

Explanation:

Low tides and high tides produce among the most noticeable phenomena along seacoasts and tidal rivers. Depending on the location and the relative position of the Earth to the moon and sun – the celestial bodies that create tides by exerting a gravitational force on our planet – the difference between high and low tide, the “tidal range,” may be small or dramatically large.

The Water

The most obvious difference between low tide and high tide is the water level at a given point. Generally, high tide and low tide both occur twice a day, meaning a roughly six-hour period separates each. The tidal range describes the vertical elevation difference between high and low tides; because of their configuration and that of the coastal seafloor, coastlines see greater tidal ranges – often 5 to 10 feet – than the open ocean. The Bay of Fundy in southeastern Canada sees the world’s greatest tidal range: 50 feet or more.

The Lunar Cycle

The lunar cycle primarily determines tidal behavior because the moon, being relatively close to the Earth, exerts an important gravitational force on the planet. When the moon is over a given location on the Earth – which happens once every 24 hours and 50 minutes – it pulls ocean water on that side of the planet toward it in a tidal bulge. Another tidal bulge forms on the opposite side of the Earth because the planet, closer to the moon than the ocean surface on that side, is pulled moonward more than the water. Those tidal bulges in line with the moon create high tides on both sides of the planet; low tides happen midway between the two tidal bulges.

The Sun

The sun's gravity also impacts the high tides and low tides, though less so than the moon because the sun lies so much farther away from the Earth. The alignment of moon, sun and Earth – which happens at new moons and full moons – creates the greatest tidal variation and highest tides: the so-called “spring tides.” When the moon is at first quarter or third quarter, the gravitational forces of sun and moon counteract one another and a lower tidal range, the “neap tides,” results.
