Explorando la Tierra, el sol y la luna: mareas

The video explains the phenomenon of tides, which are the rise and fall of ocean levels every 12:30 hours, with high and low tides occurring every 6 hours. The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth's water is responsible for these movements. The video illustrates how the moon's gravity causes high tides at the point closest to the moon and directly opposite it, while low tides form between these points. Additionally, the video discusses how the size of tides can vary depending on the time of year and the Earth's location.

What happens to the water volume on land during high and low tides?

Describe how the position of the earth and moon affects the size of tides.
