Abstract
- The article discusses the pattern of high and low tides and how they follow a sine curve. The author explains that tides don't rise and recede at a constant rate, but rather spend more time near their peaks. This is because tides are influenced by the circular orbit of the moon around the Earth. The article also mentions that the fastest rate of tidal change occurs in the middle between high and low tide. The author concludes by stating that understanding the sine wave pattern of tides has allowed them to safely enjoy the water. [Extracted from the article]
