It is bounded on the north by Asia (including the Indian subcontinent, after which it is named); A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the oceans. : DIFFERENT TYPES OF TIDES : : : Diurnal Tides A single high and a single low tide occur each day. They tend to occur in certain areas when the moon is at its furthest from the equator. : Semi-diurnal Tides : Two high and two low waters occur daily and are of relatively similar ranges. This type is more likely to occur when the moon is over the equator. : : Mixed Tides : These tides also tend to occur as the moon moves furthest north or south of the equator. They are typified by large variances in tidal ranges during the two daily tides.
