GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The regular rise and fall of the ocean’s waters are known as tides. Along coasts, the water slowly rises up over the shore and then slowly falls back again. When the water has risen to its highest level, covering much of the shore, it is at high tide. When the water falls to its lowest level, it is at low tide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition of Tide: The periodic rise and fall in the level of the water in oceans and seas as a result of gravitational attraction of the sun and moon and the rotation of the earth..

Detailed explanation-3: -The difference in height between the high tide and the low tide is called the tidal range. A horizontal movement of water often accompanies the rising and falling of the tide. This is called the tidal current.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tides are caused by the moon. The tidal force causes Earth and its water to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Global sea level rise has two major causes: the expansion of ocean water as it warms. increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets.
