types of tides

1 answer

There are several types of tides which include:

1. Diurnal Tides: These occur when there is one high tide and one low tide each day.

2. Semi-Diurnal Tides: These occur when there are two high tides and two low tides each day.

3. Mixed Tides: These occur when the high and low tides have different heights and are not equal.

4. Spring Tides: These occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in alignment, causing extra-high high tides and extra-low low tides.

5. Neap Tides: These occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at right angles, causing lower high tides and higher low tides.
