When we talk about the tide, we are talking about how high the ocean water is as we look at the ocean from the shore. The tide changes about every twelve hours in a day. When the tide is high, the waves are high. They come in toward the land with a lot of force and come far up onto the beach. When the tide is low, the level of the water is lower, and the waves don't come so far onto the beach.
Mariah made a big sand castle at the beach, but it disappeared with the high tide.When the tide was high, the boats were floating in the bay, but now the tide is low and the boats are sitting in the sand. |
