TIDES

Tides 
Native Language: Mareas
Definition: The alternate rising and falling of the sea, usually twice in each lunar day at a particular place, due to the 

attraction of the moon.

Summary: Tides are affecting the earth because it change the water level of the earth. They are two types of tides, Spring tide and Neap tide. In Spring tide the water level is highest and lowest, and in Neap tide the water level is equal. Tides are caused by gravity and lunar revolution.
