Description: Low tide is the natural phenomenon that occurs when the water level in the sea decreases, exposing areas of the coast that are normally submerged. This drop in water occurs due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the oceans, resulting in a tidal cycle that repeats approximately every six hours. During low tide, features of the seabed, such as rocks, sand, and marine life that are usually covered by water, can be observed. This phenomenon is crucial for coastal ecology, as it allows the exposure of intertidal habitats where various species of plants and animals can thrive. Additionally, low tide influences navigation and fishing activities, as boats must consider the water level to avoid running aground. In many coastal cultures, low tide also holds cultural and recreational significance, being an opportune time for shellfish gathering and beach exploration.
