In Maine (U.S.) low tide occurs roughly at moonrise and high tide with a high moon, corresponding to the simple gravity model of two tidal bulges; at most places however, moon and tides have a phase shift. mixed tide; two uneven tides a day, or one high and one low, is also possible. Tides vary on timescales ranging from hours to years due to a number of factors. To make accurate records, tide gauges at fixed stations measure the water level over time.
150,000,000 km. v. this tide occurs during a new moon and full, the combined forces of the sun and the moon produce a tide with the greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides. v. this is a tide with the least difference between consecutive low and high tides and occur twice a month, first quarter and third quarter.
