What is the movement of water toward and away from the coast due to the rise and fall of the tides?

The movement of water toward and away from the coast due to the rise and fall of the tides is called tidal flow. As the tide rises, water moves inshore, resulting in high tide, while during low tide, water flows back out to sea. This cyclical movement is influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, leading to regular changes in sea level along coastlines. Tidal flow plays a crucial role in coastal ecosystems and can affect sediment transport and marine life.


What is a receding tide?

A receding tide occurs when the water level along the shore decreases as water moves away from the coastline. This happens as the tide flows back out to sea, exposing more of the shoreline and seabed.

How can tides pull you out to sea?

An ebbing tide is when sea water is moving away from the shore after a high tide. Large waves crashing and flowing up the beach flows back into the sea. This backwards flow is often strong enough to sweep swimmers out to sea. An off-shore wind is capable of blowing children's inflatables and beach balls out to sea.
