Question

Why a place experience two high and two low tides??

Answer 1

High tide: The tidal bulges created by the moon result in high tide for the area facing the moon as well as for the area opposite the moon. The high tide on the side of earth facing the moon is typically stronger than the one on the side facing away from the moon, although how far up the beach the tide reaches depends on the contours of the shoreline and the time of year. The two high tides each area on earth experiences are approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. LOW TIDE: A region experiences a low tide when it is neither facing the moon nor facing away from it. During this time, the tidal bulges are occurring in different regions, which leads the ocean levels to recede in these regions. The severity of a low tide also depends on the contour of the shoreline and season. Low tides also occur every 12 hours and 25 minutes, which results in alternating high and low tides.
