`color{blue} ✍️` Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.
It is the daily rise and fall of the ocean as seen along the shore The highest elevation that the ocean reaches along the shore is called HIGH TIDE The lowest elevation that the ocean reaches along the shore is called LOW TIDE The vertical distance between low tides and high tides is called the TIDAL RANGE The tidal range varies depending on the shape and depth of the coastline The number of islands in the Philippine archipelago is rumored to vary depending on the tide
`color{blue} ✍️` In most places, the oceans rise and fall every 12 hours and 26 minutes. These two daily “high tides” are caused by the gravity of the Moon, and also to a lesser degree by that of the Sun.
`color{blue} {➤➤}` Tide changes proceed via the following stages:
`color{blue} ►`Sea level rises over several hours, covering the intertidal zone; flood tide.
`color{blue} ►`The water rises to its highest level, reaching high tide.
`color{blue} ►`Sea level falls over several hours, revealing the intertidal zone; ebb tide.
`color{blue} ►`The water stops falling, reaching low tide.
