Got two minutes to watch the tides change? Also, did you know high-tide flooding is becoming more frequent with human-caused global warming? Here is a visualization of these complex waves on a global scale.

Waves don’t die! Ocean tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world. Traveling around the world at 450 miles per hour, tides have no beginning and no end. The 12-hour gradual rise and fall we see on the beach is the wave’s passing, first its crest and then its trough.Did you know: The astronomical forces causing the tide (the moon and sun) don’t just affect the ocean. Their gravitational forces produce tidal movement everywhere, including the solid earth, the atmosphere, and even in

In this animation we visualized how tides are created? It's all thanks to our celestial neighbor, the Moon! 🌙 For visual clarity, we've slowed down Earth's rotation, allowing you to witness the Moon's gravitational pull in action. As the Moon orbits our planet, its gravity creates a bulge in the Earth's water, resulting in high tides. On the opposite side, another bulge forms due to the Earth's centrifugal force. Note that the tides are exaggerated in height just to have a better picture of the
