If there is a high tide in georgia where on earth is it experinceing low tide at the same time?

Sagot :

Answer:

Southern Africa, Greece, the northern part of Norway, and near the Date Line, there will low tide.

Explanation:

High and low tides occur twice a day at any place on the planet that comes out on the ocean/sea waters. They occur because of the gravitational influence of the Moon and Sun, though mostly from the Moon, where the water is pulled toward the Moon on the side of the planet that is facing it. This also results in the retraction of water from what would be the sides of the planet relative to the part that faces the Moon, while the opposite part of the planet from the part that faces the Moon also experiences a rise in the water levels.

If we have a high tide in Georgia, USA, then there will be high tide on the opposite part of the planet as well, which will be around the western coast of Australia, parts of Indonesia, and southern China. The places midway between them will experience low tide because of the retraction of water. One longitude that will experience low tide will be the one around South Africa, Greece, and the northern part of Norway, while the other one will be near the Date Line, experienced by the Pacific islands near it.
