Question

Mention the time difference between two high tides.

Answer 1

The time difference between two high tides is about 12 hours. Oceans and seas experience two high tides and two low tides in a 24-hour period, with each high tide occurring roughly 12 hours apart. However, the high tides get delayed by about 26 minutes each day due to the Moon’s revolution around the Earth. Thus, a tide occurs approximately every 6 hours, alternating between high and low tides.
