prevention of osmosis. in osmosis. ...the solution will tend to become more dilute by absorbing solvent through the membrane. This process can be stopped by increasing the pressure on the solution by a specific amount, called the osmotic pressure.
When spots get two uneven tides a day-one high and low tides-that is called mixed tide. Coastal regions with a diurnal tide experience only one high and one low tide each day. Tidal period is the length of time between successive high or low tides.These tidal periods change from spot to spot, but tides usually have a fundamental period of 24 hours 50 minutes (lunar day), or 12 hours and 25 minutes.hen spots get two uneven tides a day-one high and low tides-that is called mixed tide.

This is because the Moon takes slightly longer than 24 hours to line up again exactly with the same point on the Earth-about 50 minutes more. Therefore, the timing of high tides is staggered throughout the course of a month, with each tide commencing approximately 24 hours and 50 minutes later than the one before it.
