   What are Tides? - Tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world. As the sun rises in the east and the stars come out at night, ocean waters regularly rise and fall along our shores. Read more about "What are Tides?" What Causes Tides? - Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides r...

   When used in association with water, the term "current" describes the motion of the water. Some currents you may be familiar with are the motion of rainwater as it flows down the street, or the motion of the water in a creek, stream, or river flowing from higher elevation to lower elevation. This motion is caused by gravity. The speed and direction...
