Most coastal areas receive two high tides per day, with a new one coming every 12 hours and 25 minutes 😁 Yet exceptions to the rule aren’t hard to find. Agnew said that the complicated phenomenon of ocean tides is caused by the tidal action on the water. The Gulf of Mexico beaches only get one high tide every day due to limited water flow. As it travels inland, the water entering V-shaped Bay of Fundy (Nova Scotia) is pushed up 🔥 These high-height differences between low and higher tides, also known as bore tides, can lead to huge height gaps 😎 [1]
The rising and falling tides often have a horizontal motion of water. The tidal flow is also known as the tide current. An incoming tide that flows along the coast to the estuaries and bays is known as a flood current. The outgoing tide, on the other hand is called an “ebb current”. Most strong flood currents or ebb tides occur near or before the low and high tides. These currents tend to be the weakest, occurring between flood and ebb. Called “slack water” Also known as “slack flow”. The open ocean has relatively low tidal flows. The speed of the tidal flows can travel several kilometers an hour near estuary entrances and narrow straits. [2]
Unlike a 24-hour solar day, a lunar day lasts 24 hours It takes approximately 50 minutes. Because the Earth revolves in the same way as the moon, the Earth also revolves around it. Therefore, it takes the Earth an extra 50 minutes to “catch up” to the moon. Since the Earth rotates through two tidal “bulges” every lunar day, we experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. We can see how the tide cycle affects the lunar day. The high tides are 12 hours apart and 25 minutes apart. It takes six hours 12.5 minutes for water on the shore from high to lowest, then to rise again to the highest.

Ileana Ernst ntslf.orgAccording to a spokesman, this works in a similar way as when you twist a piece string around to move a heavy object. You can only stop the object flying away by pulling at the string. The object will fly off if you let go of the string and stop pulling. Gravity works in the same manner as pulling on the string and stops the earth flying away. The attraction pull of gravity is not like the string. It becomes weaker the further apart the objects are, and stronger the farther they become. Because the earth is huge, the gravity pull at the earth’s side nearer to the moon is greater than that on its side farther away. [4]
