The
alternate
rising
and

of
the

,

The
tide
ebbs
and
flows
twice
in
each
lunar
day
, or
the
space
of a
little
more
than
twenty
-
four
hours
. It is
occasioned
by
the
attraction
of
the
sun
and
moon
(
the
influence
of
the
latter
being
three
times
that
of
the
former
),
acting
unequally
on
the
waters
in
different
parts
of
the
earth
,
thus
disturbing
their
equilibrium
. A
high
tide
upon
one
side
of
the
earth
is
accompanied
by a
high
tide
upon
the
opposite
side
.
Hence
,
when
the
sun
and
moon
are
in
conjunction
or
opposition
, as at
new
moon
and
full
moon
,
their
action
is
such
as to
produce
a
greater
than
the
usual
tide
,
called
the
spring
tide
, as
represented
in
the
cut
.
When
the
moon
is in
the
first
or
third
quarter
,
the
sun
's
attraction
in
part
counteracts
the
effect
of
the
moon
's
attraction
,
thus
producing
under
the
moon
a
smaller
tide
than
usual
,
called
the
neap
tide
.
