Ocean Waves & Tides | Cyclical Rise & Fall of Water Levels | Natural Wave Formations| Tide Pools.

Ocean tides are the cyclical rise and fall of sea levels, primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon
Types of Tides:

Semi-diurnal tides: Occur with two high and two low tides each day, typically about six hours apart. 

Diurnal tides: Occur with only one high and one low tide each day. 

Spring Tides:

Occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. 

Neap Tides:

Occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at right angles to each other, resulting in smaller tidal ranges.
