Tides that happen once a day are called diurnal. Tides that happen twice a day are called semidiurnal. Because the Earth rotates in the same direction as the Moon, the cycle is actually slightly longer than a day at 24 hours and 50 minutes.

Tides are the regular rise and fall of sea levels. The gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun causes the tides. Knowledge of the tides is essential to safely enjoy the seaside.
19 Οκτ 2023 · The flow of water from high tide to low tide is called an ebb tide. Most tides are semidiurnal , which means they take place twice a day. For example, when an area covered by the ocean faces the moon , the moon ’s gravitational force on the water causes a high high tide .
11 Σεπ 2024 · The Short Answer: High and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.
This tidal behavior is most commonly observed in certain coastal regions where the gravitational pull of the moon and sun creates a distinct and predictable rhythm of water movement. The uniqueness of diurnal tides influences local marine ecosystems, navigation, and coastal activities.
