 Tidal natural phenomenon occurs due to the

gravitational attraction between the Moon & Earth
causing periodic changes in elevation and rescission

                of water in seas & oceans

         ? It is most noticeable in the Bay of Fundy in Canada where the
                       difference bet. Elevation and recission 19m.

                          ? Characteristics of Tides:

      1- They occur periodically and regularly twice daily (12 hrs.)
      2- Tides are at their peak (highest elevation) when the moon is

          new moon or full moon.

                            ? Importance of Tides:

      1- Used to generate electricity (renewable source of energy)
      2- Used to cleanse water bodies. (naturally)
