Every day ____
A
the moon completely revolves around the Earth
B
the sun rotates on its axis
C
tides rise and fall
D
the seasons change
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The typical tidal range in the open ocean is about 1 metre (3 feet) (blue and green on the map on the right). Closer to the coast, this range is much greater. Coastal tidal ranges vary globally and can differ anywhere from near zero to over 16 m (52 ft).

Detailed explanation-3: -Some places get 4-the only place I know about it is Southampton, Portsmouth in the UK by the Isle of Wight. If you look very closely at the map of the Isle of Wight it has funnels on each side of the channel just north of it.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides-both commonly called spring tides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tide is the rhythmic rise and fall of ocean water twice in a day.
