At high tide, the water level in the ocean or a body of water rises significantly due to the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun. This phenomenon causes coastal areas to experience a temporary inundation, with water covering more of the shoreline. High tide occurs roughly every 12 hours, alternating with low tide, and is influenced by the shape of the coastline and local topography. During this time, marine life may be more active, and certain habitats, such as tidal pools, are affected by the changing water levels.
