Q: What did one tide-pool say to the other tide-pool? A: Show me your mussels!!! Anyone who has seen the ocean has seen a tide. There is more to tides than the rising and falling of the sea or the fact that they have mussels. They are when the ocean reaches a level along the shores. They are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. Tides can be measured and predicted. Sine Saloum in Senegal, for example, experiences lots of tidal ranges but at a particular time. They could often be a risk to boats, ships, mangroves, and also us humans (Rip).
Moreover, as the earth spins on the axis where the ocean’s water stays at its same level as it was previously. The gravity pulls inbound and pushes outbound (Gillaspy). …show more content…
In more description, mangroves prefer to have a large tidal range, so that when the wave hits the mangrove root system is affect because mangroves don't want to experience a smaller root system. When a mangrove swamp is in a low tide, the trees roots will submerge out of the land curving down into the mud just like a human knee. Tidal ranges don’t only affect mangroves, but it affects the respiration, transpiration, physiology and physical structure of plants (User). Those roots can take oxygen from thin air in order to breath. Often mangroves develop under a tidal mode located in salt and blackish body of water like in Sine Saloum. Mangroves try and protect themselves from the risk of a high wave. Mangroves protect themselves against tides when the root system of the plant is submerged underwater and provides them to breath in a better condition (User). To conclude, it depends on tidal ranges whether it wants to hit the mangroves root system firmly. Tidal ranges have a substantial impact on mangroves, and it just depends on its wave action. Moreover, there are a lot more to know about tides then their tidal movement. There are also different kind
