Tides are the regular rise and fall of seawater levels on a daily basis.

Tides are mostly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon, which pulls on the water in the oceans as the Earth rotates. The Sun's gravity also affects the Earth's tides, and the combined effect is that Coastlines generally experience one high tide (higher water level) and one low tide (lower water level), about 12 hours apart during each 24 hour period. The flow of water in currents, channels, and across varying sea depths can create a wide variety of tidal ranges and effects. Winds also affect tides, and cyclonic storms can severely increase tidal water levels in their path.
