Tides are created by the known and predictable gravitational pull of the sun and moon in their relationship to the earth. Tides are also affected by unpredictable forces of nature (winds, storms, river runs, atmospheric pressure changes). An understanding of the forces causing ocean tides is complex.
Generally, there will be 2 high tides and 2 low tides every 24 hours occuring approximately 50 minutes later each day. During periods of full moon or new moon high tides are usually higher than normal and low tides are usually lower than normal. During periods of the first quarter and last quarter the high tides and the low tides are usually less than normal.

Ocean tides are best descibed as?
Ocean tides are best described as predictable and cyclic
Are tides predictable or irregular?
irregular
ARE the tides predictable and cyclic?
Yes
Why is tidal wave power energy good?
some advantages of tidal energy are, continuous, predictable energy. Another benefit of tidal power is that it is predictable. The gravitational forces of celestial bodies are not going to stop anytime soon.
Why does the solent have four high tides per day?
Tides are waves

Are heat waves predictable?
no
Do the oceans features effect waves and tides?
no oceans do not effect waves and tides
Hiw are tides formed?
tides are waves
Is tides the same with waves?
Yes they are, but I think tides are a little smaller than waves, waves can get very dangerous. Scary
Is it true that heavy waves caused by a hurricane is called rip tides?
No. Rip tides are caused by heavy waves but they are not heavy waves themselves.
What is the effect of waves?
Some waves or tides can be very strong depending on how strong the wind is. Strong waves and tides can away crabs. They can also wash up whales. These are some effects of waves and tides. I hope this information helps you.
How does the moon create waves?
The Gravity field between Earth and the Moon effects the waves and causes high tides and sometimes pushes the waves
Are waves created by the moon?
No but the tides are. Tides are created from the moon's gravitational pull of the seas. Waves are created by wind.
