Give reasons:
Tides occur in the sea.
On the sea, high tides occur. The sea rises and falls twice each day. Seawater rises and falls at the time of high tide and ebb. At high tide, seawater bulges towards the shore whereas at ebb the water returns to the sea from the shore. The time interval between two tides is approximately 12.25 hours. Tide occurs on the earth due to the gravitational force of the sun and the moon.
High tides occur on the new moon day and full moon day.
- During new and full moons, the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line.
- Because of the gravitational force of the sun and moon, the seawater rises and large waves are created.
- The gravitational force exerted by the sun and moon on every full moon and new moon day are in the same direction. as a result, high tide occurs.
