Muddy tide
The land between low and high tide lines is known as the intertidal zone or littoral zone. This area is alternately covered and uncovered by the ocean's tides, creating a unique and constantly changing environment for marine life.
Winkles, or small sea snails, often hide in crevices or under rocks when the tide goes out to protect themselves from predators and desiccation. They can also burrow into the sandy or muddy substrate to stay moist and safe until the tide returns.
Prawns typically live in the intertidal zone, which is the area between the high and low tide marks. They are often found in sandy or muddy substrates where they can burrow and hide during low tide and forage for food during high tide.
Moving away from land is called an ebb tide.

There is a section of a beach or shoreline which is sometimes covered by the ocean, when the tide is high, and sometimes is uncovered, when the tide is low; this is the intertidal zone.

When the sea is retreating from the land, it is an ebb tide. When the sea is coming in, it is a flood tide.

This phrase is from H.W.Longfellow poem rain in summer. It means when the heavy rain flew from the top of street, it brought with it all the sand from the upside and the mud and it totally looked like a tide of a river but with full of mud.
Moving away from land is called an ebb tide.
A land tide refers to the rising and falling of the earth's surface due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. This phenomenon is similar to ocean tides but occurs on land, causing the ground to move up and down cyclically. Land tides are more subtle and less noticeable compared to ocean tides.
"Roll Tide" is the rallying call for the University of Alabama. Alabama's "mascot" is known as the Crimson Tide. The term Crimson Tide was coined in 1907 when Alabama played Auburn on a muddy field and stained the uniforms red. Hugh Roberts, the sports editor for the Birmingham Age-Herald, described the team as Crimson Tide because of the mud and coined the term "roll tide" to reference the way they ran onto the field (rolling like a tide). Similar to other college chants, "Roll Tide" essentially means fight on, don't give up, never surrender.
Intertidal zones are areas of the shoreline that are covered by water during high tide and uncovered during low tide. They are home to a diverse range of marine organisms adapted to living in this dynamic and challenging environment.
