TIDES 101:\n\nThe earth's water is fluid. It moves easily.\n\nThe earth spins once on it's axis in ~24hr period.\n\nAs the earth turns, it literally spins through the water. This causes it to bulge up along the coastlines. This is called the tidal bulge.\n\nDepending on earth's proximity to the moon & to some degree, the sun, we will either be in or out of the bulge.\n\nIf the the moon & the sun are lined up on the same side the tidal bulge will be greater than normal.\n\nIf the moon is at a right angle in relation to the sun & earth, then the physical forces cancel each other out & the tidal bulge isn't as great.\n\nBelow is a diagram to go along w/ the info above.\n\n:)

The simple answer: it is the shape of the coast and the bottom of the ocean near Savannah that creates these big tides. \n\nLarge amplitude tides are caused by the response of the local topography (coastline, bottom shape, etc) to the tidal forcing from the earth passing through and rotating in a gravitational gradient field produced by the moon, the sun and other celestial bodies. \n\nThe bay of Fundy has huge tides because of its shape. Some places have no tides because of the same phenomenon, or 1 tide a day, or 3 or more\n\nThe moon is responsible for about 2/3 of the tide, and the sun is responsible for about 1/3 of the tide. There are also effects from the other planets and celestial bodies, but since they are further away and/or smaller, the effects are much less. \n\nThere are atmospheric and solid earth tides as well.

Pools of water that form near the ocean due to shallow dips in the landscape. When the tide goes out the water is trapped in these small pools. When the tide is in they are just another part of the ocean.

Use Archimedes's buoyancy principal.  The weight outside represents the response of mass to the Earth's gravity.  The weight in water represents the displaced water's weight.  Use the ratio to get the answer.  HINT: if you convert to mass, the answer almost gives itself away.\nThe displaced water has a well known density.  That density will give the volume of the both the displaced water and the object displacing it.

Receding tide: "Ebb tide".  The tide ebbs.\n\nRising tide: The tide flows.

I believe that in most places, the difference in daily tide levels is greater than the difference between spring and neap tides.  Since the Sun's position relative to the earth changes in a daily cycle, and the Moon's position changes in a monthly cycle, that suggests to me that the Sun has a greater effect on tides.

The short answer is, the high and low tides do not happen at the same time everywhere. High and low tides are like waves that travel around the planet. \n\nThe moon is responsible for about 2/3 of the tide, and the sun is responsible for about 1/3 of the tide. There are also effects from the other planets and celestial bodies, but since they are further away and/or smaller, the effects are much less. \n\nThe tides are caused because on one side of the earth, the gravitational pull of the moon (and other bodies) pulls the water away from the earth, and makes a big lump we call a high tide. On the other side of the earth, the earth gets pulled away from the water, leaving another big lump, a slightly smaller high tide. In between, it is low tide. That is why in most places we see 2 tides a day (although in some places there are no tides, or 1 tide a day, or more than 2 a day). \n\nThere are tides in the atmosphere too, and in the ground, as you might expect. It is not just in the water, but we can see the water tides easiest in the oceans and some big lakes.

Yes, there are also some tidal rivers.  The Danube is one I can think of.

Tides are caused by factors such as winds, earths rotation and the sun and the moon's gravitational pull. All of them combined sometimes.\n\nexceptional cases such as tsunami-when sections of plates of earth's crust undergo changes such as shift, quakes, displacements

Try this site for high and low tide.  It's the best I can do without knowing the exact location in the Wesminter area you need this data for.\n\nhttp://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tides06/tab2wc1a.html#122

just go with the tide

The desity of water makes it more suseptable to the pull of the moon's gravitation. Depening on it's course around the earth throughout the year the tides follow in it's wake. Not just hight tide and low tide are effected byt this but swells and tsunamis. The tides are also effected by plate techtonics but science has yet to decide whether the causation is more that plate tectonics are effected by the same gravitational pull as the ocean tides or my subterrainian thermo tides.

The waters of the oceans are pulled downwards by gravity; they flow around the planet in currents.  The continents shift and drift and the water flows into the spaces left.  The moon's gravity pulls the water and creates tides.  The waters of our little planet are in constant motion.
