When the level of the ocean or another body of water reaches its highest elevation at a specific location during a specific period, it is referred to as a high tide. Low tide is opposed by it. The highest point when the water reaches on the shore or coastline occurs during high tide, when the water level rises dramatically.
The gravitational attraction of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun, which have an impact on the Earth's seas, is chiefly responsible for this rise in water level. Normally, high tide happens twice a day, roughly 12 hours and 25 minutes apart, though the precise timing and intensity can change depending on things like the Moon phase, the topography of the region and the climate of the area. Areas that are ordinarily submerged may become inundated during high tide, and the shoreline may change as waves inland.
