The rise and fall of sea water due to gravitational forces of the sun and the moon are called tides.
The rhythmic rise and fall of water twice in a day is called a tide.
High Tide: This occurs when water covers much of the shore by rising to its highest level.
Low Tide: There is a low tide when water falls to its lowest level and recedes from the shore.

Answer:
Tides are the alternative rise and fall of seawater levels
Explanation:
- The combined effects of the gravitational forces of the earth, moon and the sun cause tides
- The strongest effect is that of the moon and it is usually generalised that tides are caused by the moon
- When the sea level rises, we call it high tide
- When the sea level dips, we call it a low tide
- The rise and fall of water happens in a rhythmic manner
- Waves are caused by the wind and are a surface phenomenon
The alternative rise and fall of water levels are called tides.
