The Tides

• Caused mostly by the moon (but also the sun).
• Moons gravity draws ocean water toward it.
• High tide is always the two parts of the world
  lined up straight with the moon.
• Low tide occurs in the two spots between.
• It takes 6 hours to change from high tide to low
  tide.
• When the sun and moon line up, tides become
  especially strong (spring tide)
• When the sun and moon work against each other,
  tides are much weaker. (neap tide)
