The ocean moves like a giant breathing machine because the moon pulls on it, kind of like how your arm is pulled when you're playing tug-of-war. When the moon and sun are lined up, the tides get really high, almost like waves climbing to the sky.
Examples
- The ocean waves up like a sleeping giant when the moon and sun are together.
- You might notice your boat floating higher in the water during full or new moons.
- During spring tides, sometimes you can walk across the sea bed at low tide.
