Tides is the correct answer.
- Tides are defined as the rise and fall of water in rhythm, with reason being the pull of gravitation of both sun and moon on Earth.
- Tidal cycle refers to tides changing from high to low.
- On the basis of number of tidal cycles, tides have been divided into three types namely Semi-diurnal, diurnal and mixed.
- Semi-diurnal tides refers to two high tides and two low tides.
- Diurnal tides refers to one high and one low tide.
- And the mixed tides indicate two high and two low tides but differing in their heights.
