is completely black, it is a new
moon. This is followed by the
waxing moon up to the first
quarter, with the right-hand
side of the moon visible. After

Tides are the rise and fall of sea
D
levels caused by the combined
effects of gravitational forces
exerted by the Moon, Sun, and
rotation of the Earth.
There are multiple types of
sea tides. In most locations you
will find the 'principal lunar
semi-diurnal' sea tide.
The period for one rise and fall
of the sea level is about
12 hours, 25 minutes and
14 seconds.
