Tides are the periodic rise and falling of large bodies of water. The word tide is a term used to define the alternating rise and fall in sea level relevant to the land produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. Winds and currents move the surface of the water causing waves. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side because the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon and

Dr. Atticus Brent‚ Jacobs Corp‚ Day 1 on Planet Argolis. My officers have decided to send me to this planet‚ in search of supposed alien artifacts that were found on this planet.
