Tides can cause changes in sea level, affecting coastal areas and shorelines. They can also influence ocean currents and affect marine ecosystems and habitats. Additionally, tides can impact navigation and marine activities.
The river tees is not a delta as the north sea (the sea it drains into) is tidal, meaning that the tides wash away the sediment that cause deltas.
During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.

The major cause of different sea tides is the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. The gravitational force from these celestial bodies creates bulges in the waters, leading to high and low tides as Earth rotates.
Sea levels rise with the tides.
In high tides areas, the water level is higher the average sea level. In areas between high tides, low tides from. In low tide areas, the water level is lower than average sea level.
The main, and most regular, cause of movement in our oceans is due to the gravitational pull of the Moon. As the Moon orbits the Earth its gravitational field "pulls" the sea upwards and this causes high tides, with low tides following. Waves are also caused by the action of winds on the surface and, at greater depth, water movement can be due to tectonic movements, or earthquakes, under the sea. Another cause of ocean currents can be due to the change in density of the water, for example, where freshwater from rivers flows directly into the salty sea..
Clouds do not cause tides. Tides are caused by the pull of the Moon's gravity.
