Answer:
When the highest part, or crest of the wave reaches a particular location, high tide occurs; low tide corresponds to the lowest part of the wave, or its trough. The difference in height between the high tide and the low tide is called the tidal range.
High tide is created by the gravitational pull of the moon which pulls water toward it. Water on the opposite side of the Earth is pulled least by the moon so the water bulges away from the moon. High tide occurs where the water is bulging. Low tide occurs where it is not.

Tides are nothing more than the effects of gravity from other celestial bodies, primarily the moon, acting on the planet. Most of the planet is too big or fixed in position, but water, at the molecular level, is able to be pulled towards the moon, ever so slightly. However, ocean water averages a depth of more than4 km, and a very small increase between the molecules when that many molecules are involved, produce tides. Tides are high when the moon is overhead, and low when the moon is on the other side of the planet.
