Main Body
pull becomes maximum (leading to highest high tides and lowest low tides)
(B) Neap tide
Relatively lower height as force applied from different direction
Difference between Tides and Waves:
Tides:
Gravitational force is the main cause
Vertical movement of water (no transfer of energy)
Periodic phenomena
Helps fishermen determine time and more fishes at low tide
Help in navigation due to its periodicity
Waves:
Vertical shear force of waters is the main cause
No movement of water but horizontal transfer of energy
[Wave diagram showing amplitude and wavelength]
Thus both tides and waves are oceanic phenomena with very different causes and different impacts on marine and terrestrial life.

Tides:
Periodical phenomena
Helps fishermen determine time and more fishes at low tide
Help in navigation due to its periodicity
Waves:
Vertical shear force of waters is the main cause
No movement of water but horizontal transfer of energy
Thus both tides and waves are oceanic phenomena with very different causes and different impacts on marine and terrestrial life.
