Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted...

The intertidal zone or foreshore is the area above water level at low tide and underwater at high tide: in other words, the part of the littoral zone...

A tide pool or rock pool is a shallow pool of seawater that forms on the rocky intertidal shore. These pools typically range from a few inches to a few...

A king tide is an especially high spring tide, especially the perigean spring tides which occur three or four times a year. King tide is not a scientific...

Undersea mountain ranges are mountain ranges that are mostly or entirely underwater, and specifically under the surface of an ocean. If originated from...

Earth tide (also known as solid-Earth tide, crustal tide, body tide, bodily tide or land tide) is the displacement of the solid earth's surface caused...

flows into the gulf means that there are no major rivers going into the gulf and creating run-off. Tidal conditions range with spring tide peaking around...

A tide clock is a specially designed clock that keeps track of the Moon's apparent motion around the Earth. Along many coastlines, the Moon contributes...

The theory of tides is the application of continuum mechanics to interpret and predict the tidal deformations of planetary and satellite bodies and their...

astronomical tide (HAT) (for "HAT" see tidal range). Tide tables give the height of the tide above a chart datum making it feasible to calculate the depth of water...

useful in areas with a large tidal range. The sill of a half tide dock must be set sufficiently far below the daily high tide mark to allow ships to pass over...

Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular...

A tide mill is a water mill driven by tidal rise and fall. A dam with a sluice is created across a suitable tidal inlet, or a section of river estuary...
