Abstract

The tide is a completely complex phenomenon that was fully described in the middle of the nineteenth century. The majority of confirmed popular opinions concern this issue.
For example, we often assume that the Earth's rotation around itself displaces a great deal of water and creates a tidal wave, or a decrease in the distance between the Sun and the Earth produces moderate tides. In fact, tide is the result of a system of waves that rapidly spread in the oceans, and produce regular fluctuations of water levels. The order and magnitude of the fluctuation of this phenomenon depend on both astronomical (relative position of the Moon and the Sun) and geographic (coordinates of the studied area) factors.
