In this animation we visualized how tides are created? It's all thanks to our celestial neighbor, the Moon! 🌙 For visual clarity, we've slowed down Earth's rotation, allowing you to witness the Moon's gravitational pull in action. As the Moon orbits our planet, its gravity creates a bulge in the Earth's water, resulting in high tides. On the opposite side, another bulge forms due to the Earth's centrifugal force. Note that the tides are exaggerated in height just to have a better picture of the

Got two minutes to watch the tides change? Also, did you know high-tide flooding is becoming more frequent with human-caused global warming? Here is a visualization of these complex waves on a global scale.
