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.

Confidence votes 37.1K. On average, high tides are separated by about 12 hours and 24 minutes. The 12 hours is because of earth's rotation, and the 24 minutes is compensation for the movement of the moon. So low tides would be about half way through those 12 hour 24 minute periods.he spring tide is the tide that has the greatest difference  between low and high tides. This type of tide occurs during new or  full moons when the gravitational pull of t â¦ he moon combines with  that of the sun's.
