Understanding The Tides
Tides are caused by two types of forces acting on our rotating Earth: gravity and inertia. The gravitational force of the moon is stronger than the sun (as it is nearer to earth) and would pull the water surface in the direction of the moon, to form high tide. On the opposite side of the earth which is furthest away from the moon, however, the gravitational force of the moon is minimal and the centrifugal forces (rotational inertia) of the seawater which is actually rotating at almost the same speed of the earth, would cause the water level to rise (meaning also high tide but slightly lower than that facing the moon).
Hence in theory, the interaction of these forces would bring about two high tides and low tides a day at any coastal point on earth. (more…)
