Where does the tide go when it goes out?
When the tide goes out, the water moves to a place between the sun and the moon which is out at sea, away from the beach. When the tide comes in the water moves to a place between the sun and moon which is over land. The sea cannot come over the land so it builds up as a high tide against the beach!
Why is one low tide lower than the other?
