Question

Where does seawater go when it’s low tide?

In: Physics

Answer 1

To the part of the ocean right underneath the moon. There’s a bulge of seawater right there due to gravity

(There’s also a second bulge on the opposite side of the planet from the moon, but that one’s a little more confusing to think about. It basically means the same thing for tides though.)
