In science class today, we've been learning about - What is a tide? How tides work? And how they occur.
Here is a short paragraph of what is a tide and how it works.
Tidal Phenomenon!
A tide is not just the rise and falls of ocean water. Tide is the movement of water caused by complex and interactions between the gravitational forces of the Earth, Moon and Sun.
The combined forces cause the oceans bulge out in the direction of the Moon. As the Earth rotates around on its axis, the bulge is directly in line with the Moon. The Earth rotates a few times faster than the bulge, therefore the solid Earth moves towards the water bulge. Observing the tide from Earth, you might think that the water goes to the Earth's surface. When in facts its the Earth's surface that meets the water bulge.
Now you know what tides are and how they occur.
