Rising Tide

Alia Alkhalfah | Stand : MB08

Did you know that coastal areas experience two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes? This phenomenon occurs because the Earth rotates through two tidal bulges caused by the moon's gravitational pull:
The side of Earth facing the moon experiences a high tide as the moon's gravity draws the water toward it, while the opposite side also experiences a high tide due to the forces at play.

As the Earth rotates, these tidal bulges shift, creating the rhythmic rise and fall of water we see along the coasts.  The difference in sea level between the high and low tide is called the tidal range.  

This painting is inspired by this tidal phenomenon.
