The tides change because the gravitational pull from the Moon onto Earth. The Moons gravity pulls the water toward the moon. The Side of Earth facing the moon has a high tides. The Pull of gravity causes Oceans to bulge outward. On the other side of Earth, the Moons pull on solid ground causes the Oceans to bulge there too. The Earth rotates on its axis and so this bulge is constantly changing location. Where the bulge is bigger, its high tide. Where the water doesn't bulge is low tide.
I hope this helps, if there is anything else u want to ask me just let me know. For more information about Tides you could watch a brainpop on brainpop.com.
Further. The Earth's tides are a combination of the gravitation pull due to the Moon and also the Sun. When these add, we have the highest high tides. When these oppose, we have the lowest high tides.
Now, the moon takes roughly 28 days for its orbit of the Earth, and since this is NOT an simple multiple of the 24 hour rotation of the Earth, the tides gradually precess round the Earth - the afternoon High Tide will be roughly one hour later each day.
[Ignoring those folk in N Australia and the English Channel (+ +) where local conditions give several tides per day!]

What are the warnings of tsunamis?
Warnings for a tsunami might be feeling the Earth shake, seeing the ocean water disappear from the beach, bay or river, or hearing an unusual roaring sign. A warning for this tsunami might be issued by public officials, and if a warning for your area is announced, you should run to higher ground immediately.

What landforms result from deposition?
The materials from which a beach is formed are carried by the long shore drift. If there is a coastline of weak rocks which has been greatly eroded on the up drift side, the waves will be laden with material. Where there is a bend in the coastline, deposition by constructive waves is always likely to take place because a more sheltered area has been created. Material accumulates over time and builds up the beach.
(description of how a land form beach is formed)
There are also valley's and mountains made by deposition
What are the top five states with the longest coast lines?
California, Florida, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska These are all ocean-bordering states. Michigan however, has more miles of coastline by far than any state but Alaska.
Unless you know how to tie tectonic plates together so they can't move about or you know how to prevent other geological activity, the answer is no: You cannot prevent a tsunami.
However, you can prevent a tsunami from completely destroying a human population by giving people a chance to run away from the tsunami, given prior warning. I'm sure there is some kind of tsunami detector, probably resembling a seismometer.
Three tributaries of the Mississippi river?
Due to its great length, there are many tributaries of the Mississippi River. Five of these tributaries are the St. Croix River, the Missouri River, the Ohio River, the Rock River, and the White River.
Africa is known for a variety of landforms, including the African Great Rift Valley, the Sahara Desert, the Atlas Mountains, and the Congo Basin. These landforms play a crucial role in shaping the diverse ecosystems found across the continent, from deserts to rainforests. Many of Africa's landforms are a result of tectonic activity and erosion processes over millions of years.
Landforms are made by weathering, plate tectonics, erosion, etc. For example, and arch is made when a huge boulder is blown on with wind and rain for at least centuries, and a hole is bored in the center. A window is a arch that isn't quite an arch yet. An island is made when either the plates of the earth shift, pushing it up, or there is an underwater volcano that slowly builds up an island. Those are just a few landforms- there are many more.
Lulworth Cove and Stair Hole have developed as the thinner Limestone has been eroded by the sea and has started to erode the softer rock behind the limestone.
. . . .
The formation is that the sea attacks the hardest part of the rock, which is closest to the sea. Once the sea has made a hole through that, it attacks the softer rock inside which forms a cove.
What landforms are found in Africa?
Africa is home to a diverse range of landforms, including mountains such as the Atlas Mountains and Mount Kilimanjaro, deserts like the Sahara and Kalahari, plateaus such as the Ethiopian Highlands, rivers like the Nile and Congo, and lakes including Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika. The continent also features savannas, grasslands, and tropical rainforests.
Coral reefs form as coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate to create hard skeletons that build up over time. These skeletons create the structure and foundation for the reef, which then grows as more coral polyps settle and reproduce on top of existing skeletons. Over time, this process creates the diverse and intricate ecosystems we know as coral reefs.
Which state has a smaller coastline then Maine when Maine is stretched out?
The Maine coast line is the longest coast line in the USA if you were to straighten it out into a straight line. Therefore, the answer to your question is that all the states have a smaller coastline when Maine is stretched out.
Certainly it has a longer ocean coastline then Kansas, Colorado or Wyoming but it has less then:
What is North Carolina known for?

How did old harry's rocks wife fall?
Old Harry's wife rock formation near Swanage, England, did not actually have a wife that "fell." The formation is a set of coastal chalk stacks, which were formed through erosion over thousands of years, as opposed to being a result of any specific event involving a wife falling.
How does a tsunami affect Canadians?
A tsunami can affect Canadians if it originates in the Pacific Ocean and reaches the west coast of Canada. In this scenario, coastal communities in British Columbia may experience the impact of a tsunami, including flooding, property damage, and potential loss of life. However, the risk and impact of tsunamis on Canadians are generally lower compared to other regions like the Pacific Rim.
