Logically I understand that a.) the ocean is HUGE so the amount of incoming water is infitismally tiny compared to the whole, and b.) it is one large body so when the tide comes in there are other beaches where the tides goes out; but are there any other factors to this? Does gravity affect the mass/density of the water somehow that can also attribute to the change?
In: Physics
There is no extra water, it’s just movement of water being pulled towards the external gravity source. ie the moon. So water elsewhere is going down…low tide.
