major example of tide?

look up Bay of Fundy.largest tide in the world.I think 26 ft

In order to show a measurable effect, the water bodies have to be really large in East-West expansion. Inland seas like the Baltic Sea have little discernible Lunar tide, less than a decimetre, and much less than "wind tides" which can easily change one metre.\n\nTides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. The entire water body alters its surface in reaction to the pull, on a much larger scale than the ground does. (Yes, that's true: the ground reacts to the moon by slight lifting and falling, too.)\n\nThe more east-west-distance is available, the more water will contribute to the changed equilibrium. The farther away the shore is, the deeper the new curve of the surface will intersect with sea ground level.\n\nReally high tides occur in funnel-shaped sections of the coasts where the wave is contracted from the sides.

Tide refers to the water level present in the ocean. It increases depending upon the season such as winter, summer and tropical. These tides levels are categorically watched by meterological dept inorder to protect the seashore areas in lieu of natural calmities such as tsunammi, typhoons etc.\n\nIn terms of shipping, tides are always watched by the captain inorder to move the ship safely saling to avoid grounding in mud.

Good question!\n\nIn fact, causing the tide on Earth actually results in the Earth-Moon system losing a little energy during every orbit.  \n\nThis results in the moon moving a little further from the earth to maintain the angular momentum of the system.

While the high tide is coming in the waves will be bigger with the "tidal push".  The morning usually has better shape unless you have afternoon offshore winds.  Winds that blow onshore tend to flatten the waves and ruin their shape.

Guessing......red tides in the ocean are caused by an algae when conditions are right (low oxygen i believe) It may be the same in a waste water stabilisation pond, they might use a similar algae to help break down the waste materials.

The concepts of ebb and flow has a lot of contexts. Strictly speaking, the incoming tide is called a flow and the outgoing is called the ebb.\n\nTides on earth are caused by gravitional attraction with primarily the moon and to a lesser degree the sun. Water attracted to the moon is raised above the mean tidal level much like a bulge and the earth spins underneath this bulge. High tide corresponds to the highest point of the this tidal bulge and low tide is roughly 12 hours opposite.

For me I use high tide to low tide depending on the type of break you are looking for. High tide usually brings shore break waves and are smaller. Low tide usually has more contiuned sets and the waves are larger. I messed up my fins by trying to catch shore break during high tide. Good Luck!

Yes, this is called the tide.  The moon exerpts a gravatitional force on the Earth that causes the water to rise and fall.\n\nRead more at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

neap tide is the answer.\n\nExplaination. Since it is the effect of the moon and sun's gavity that causes tides, there are high tides closest and farthest away from the two of them. When they are lined up, spring tide occurs, resulting in the highest and lowest possible tides. However, when the sun, moon, and earth are at a 90 degree angle, the difference between high tide and low tide is the least(Because the effects of gravity are spread out). This is neap tide.\n\nPS. At neap tide there is still a visible distinction between the high and low tides. This is because the sun and moon's gravity and distance from Earth are not the same.

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.

You could compare the tides to slow, regular breathing and tsunamis to sneezes, I guess. You could say the moon is the little sister to Earth. I can't think of any analogies for the others.\n\nSince the moon causes the tides, waves batter cliffs and you are safe from waves in a bay, there is probably some grand, unifying metaphor here, but it escapes me. Sorry.

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.

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.

Yes there are tides on the open ocean.  The change in tide can greatly effect the size and frequency of waves.  It can also make storm waves worse.

you might want to be more specific with your question, but it sounds like you're referring to the Red Tide.

The highest tides occur during spring tides, when the earth, sun and the moon are aligned, or in syzygy (either conjunction or opposition). There is a special type of high tide called a perigean high tide when the moon is closest to the earth (at its perigee) which is extra high. Of course storm surges can make this high tide even higher. \n\nThese are also the conditions for the lowest low tides, because when a given location is oriented at right angles to the alignment, its water is being pulled away to make a very high tide someplace else, making its low tides extra low.\n\nWhen the moon and the sun are at right angles, with the earth at the fulcrum, the difference between high tides and  low tides is reduced, because the two tidal forces of the sun and the moon are not acting together.\n\nAt any given place on the coast, there can be different effects than this, because of the shape of the coast and the bottom. This is why there are places on the earth with no tides (nodal points), one high tide per day, 2 (the norm), 3 high tides per day, 4 or even more.
