Why do tides happen every 12 hours?
Tides ebb and flow twice a day.
Why are there no tides at the equator?
Average temperature: 60 degrees F
Does every location on earth have two high tides a month?
No! They have 2 tides a DAY!!
Does high tides and low tides happen every day?
No, not at all. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the earth's waters. The earth rotates once every 24 hours and the earth/moon system rotates roughly once every 27 days. The complex interaction between the two creates a pattern that repeats roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes. In other words, the whole pattern of high and low tides shifts by a bit under an hour every day. But there's still more: Within that pattern there oscillations that produce two different high and two different low tides every day, so there's about 6 hours and 12 minutes between any pair of high and low tides.
How many many tides per day?
2
What does the moon do to the earth every 6 hours?
Nothing, If you Are asking about tides then it is the earths spinning that casuses tides to change ruffly every 6 hours (as the moon shifts so does high and low tide). But the tides themselves are caused by the effect of the sun's and moons gravity. Hope this helps

Do tides occur the same time every day?
No, not at all. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the earth's waters.

No! They have 2 tides a DAY!!
Why do tides change daily?
Tides change every 12 hours and they are caused by the moon's gravity
How often do tides occur and how many hours are between them?
About every 6 hours
Which one is complete about every day the moon revolves around the Earth or tides rise and fall?
-- The moon takes 27.32 days to revolve around the Earth ... a little less than 4% of one per day. -- There are two high tides and two low tides every 24hours 50minutes ... an average of just under one high or low tide every six hours.
Why does a cycle of tides take 24 hours?
It takes 24 hours to go through a cycle of tides because the moon cause these tides and it takes a day to revolve around the earth.
Why tides rise or fall every 6 hours and 13 minutes?
the tides rise or fall occur every 6hours and 13 minutes because because of the gravitational and rotational force,all particles of the earth ,moon,and the sun attract one another
What controls the tides?
The Moon's gravitational pull, as it goes around the Earth, makes the waters of the seas follow its motion. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, the seas have the least gravitational pull and seem to be pushed away from the moon. Because of these two gravitational effects, there are two high tides for each orbit of the Moon around the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth almost every twenty-four hours, there are two tides every day.
