What would happen if there were no tides?
If there were no tides, Earth wouldn't be the same
How often do low tides happen?
Twice a day. Same as high tides.
How many tides happen in the same spot each day?
Most places have two tides in a day. On the Gulf Coast of Florida west of the Apalachicola River, there is one a day and it is measured in inches. A few places on earth may have none.
What might explain the fact that water is rising in one area and falling in another?
This is happening because of tides, which happen in the opposite places on Earth at the same time. The magnetic field on the Earth and the Moon are pulling towards each other, causing the tides to rise in one place and fall in another.

What would happen to the Earth's tides if the moon was twice the size as it is now?
What matters heres is the Moon's mass, as well as its distance. With a more massive Moon (and in the same orbit), the tides would of course be stronger.
Which phases of the moon cause the highest low tides and lowest high tides?
At the quarter moon phase, the gravity of the sun and the moon are working at right angles to each other, partially canceling out their tidal effects. This is when you'll get the highest low tides or lowest high tides, or "neap tides".
Are tides the same on all coastlines?
Tides are the same, but the same type of tide could or could not be happening in another place.
Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?
same
Do tides occur at the same time?
No. Tides are generated by the combined gravity of the Sun and the Moon on the Earth's oceans. The Moon goes around the Earth each month, so the tides will vary both in time and in magnitude depending on the relative positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
Are high tides the same everyday?
No
How many high tides are there in a day in Indiana?
Tides are a global phenomenon. Any place with an ocean shore all over the world will see the same number of tides. The size of the nearest ocean, and the shape of the coastline will determine the height of the tides. Some places, it's hardly worth mentioning.
