Subject: RE: BS: Are Human Beings Tidal?
Ooh this does complicate matters a bit.....or maybe it explains why people on the west coast of North America have a reputation of being unbalanced extremists.
Diurnal tides have 1 high and 1 low per day. They are found in Australia, Antarctica, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Semidiurnal tides have 2 equal highs and lows each day. They are found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Mixed tides have two unequal highs and lows each day. They are found in the Pacific Ocean.
