¿What is a tide?
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon
and the Sun. The tides occur with a period of approximately 12 and a half hours and are influenced by the shape of the near-shore bottom.
Most coastal areas experience two daily high (and two low) tides. This is because at the point right "under" the Moon (the sub-lunar point),
the water is at its closest to the Moon, so it experiences stronger gravity and rises. For more information visist wikipedia.
