TIDES and Tidal Conditions
The words "tide", "tides" and even "tidal conditions" are basic generic terms which are used to describe the alternating rise and fall in water level that occurs with respect to the land. This rise and fall is produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. Tides occur in the ocean bodies of water but are also present in the larger lakes of the world. Geologically, tides also occur within the solid crust of the earth, acted upon by these same gravitational forces of the moon and sun. Tides have even been seen to occur on the moons of other planets.
In the portholes below, you can find further information on tides and tidal conditions and how you are or can be affected by tidal changes.
