EXTREME HIGH AND EXTREME LOW

At Mont St-Michel, there can be a difference of 50 feet between low and high tide! The tides can be dangerous about 12 days a year! You can actually sink into the sand like quicksand as the tide rushes in! About half of the days each month, extreme high tides almost turn the mountain into an island! When do the highest tides tend to happen?

JINDO MIRACLE SEA ROAD

PARTING OF THE SEA

A few days a year, tidal harmonics will line up just right to generate a very low tide, revealing a 40 to 60 meter-wide ridge of land. During this time, you can walk 1.8 miles from Jindo to Modo Island! Every year, South Koreans partake in the Jindo Miracle Sea Road Festival to celebrate the natural phenomenon!

ADALAIDE

DODGE TIDES

A few places around the world experience tides with little or no height variance throughout the year! Dodge tides are different than neap tides, which is when the water changes are at the smallest. In Adalaide, the symmetry of the oceans and how tidal waves respond, the effects of the Sun and Moon are about equal for about a day or two!

Rocky intertidal zone

The rocky intertidal zone, also known as tide pools, is one of the best protected in California. When the tide goes out to low tide, water and critters are trapped in these tide pools, exposing them to visitors.

TIDE CHARTS

Using a tide chart, scientists can determine when the high and low tides will occur and how high/low they will be. The tides are affected by which celestial bodies?
