When the ocean rises and falls in that rhythmic way, we call that the tide. Gravity is the driving force behind the movement of massive amounts of water around the globe on an hour-to-hour basis. The moon, and, to a lesser extent, the sun, are the culprits behind this extraordinary phenomenon. There are some links below for more information.

Where does the waves lap the shore and tides rise and fall?
Waves lap the shore and tides rise and fall along coastlines where the ocean meets land. This dynamic interaction between water and land is influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, as well as the shape of the coastline and seabed. The rhythmic movement of waves and tides creates distinct ecosystems and coastal landscapes. Such areas are vital for marine life and human activities alike.

What is the rise and fall of water due to gravity called?
The rise of water is called capillary action, which occurs when water travels upwards in a narrow space, such as a tube, due to adhesive and cohesive forces. The fall of water due to gravity is called drainage or runoff, where water flows downhill following the path of least resistance.
