Question

What is the time difference between two tides .

Answer 1

Answer:Because the Earth rotates through two tidal “bulges” every lunar day, coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. It takes six hours and 12.5 minutes for the water at the shore to go from high to low, or from low to high. The time difference between the two tidal bulges is of 12 hours and 25 minutes. It is called as tidal clock.
