• High water: a water level maximum ("high tide") • Low water: a water level minimum ("low tide") • Tidal range: the difference between high and low
tide• Spring Tide: full moon and new moon (14.77 days)• Neap Tide: 1st quarter and 3rd quarter (14.77 days)

Tidal PatternsSemidiurnal tides- two high and two low per day; Cape Cod, MA (low latitudes)Diurnal tides- one high and one low per day; Mobile, AL (high latitudes)Mixed pattern tides- Two high and two low tides per day BUT with successive high tide levels that are VERY DIFFERENT from each other; Hawaii (mid latitudes)
Type of tide depends on:• Position on the globe• Water depth• Contour- shape of ocean basins
