Where does seawater go when it’s low tide?
In: Physics
Simplest description is the water goes to other parts of the ocean that are farther away. At those locations where the water is going, the ocean is getting deeper ( more water is being pulled there) while at the shore, water is getting shallower (less water is there).
The water gets moved to those locations by the moon’s gravitational pull as it orbits around the Earth, and is also affected by which direction the Sun is.
