Where does seawater go when it’s low tide?
In: Physics
Think of it like tug of war. You’ve got one end of a rope, I’ve got the other end. If I pull the rope hard, you have less, I have more. If you pull hard, you have more, I have less.
The sea is no difference. High Tide here basically means low tide on the other side of the sea. Low Tide here means High Tide on the other side. In larger seas/oceans this may take some time because of the big distance, but the sea is just sloshing back and forth between coastlines.
