Tides

the moon affects the ocean tides that it is kind of weird how all of the physical characteristics work. Well the moon has a gravitational pull that is strong enough that it pulls the the ocean towards it. The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, and those enormous tides alone make that the Bay of Fundy is one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. Twice everyday the bay fills and empties of its 100 billion tonnes of water during each tide cycle—that’s more than the flow of all the world’s freshwater rivers combined. The height of the tide difference ranges from 3.5 meters 11ft along the southwest shore of Nova Scotia and steadily increases as the flood waters travel up the 174 miles of shoreline to the head of the Bay where, in the Minas Basin, the height of the tide can reach an incredible 16 meters (53ft).
