tide: connected therewith
tide: something that may increase or decrease (like the tides of the sea); "a rising tide of popular interest"
tide: rise and fall of sea level due to the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun The highest or spring tides are at or near new and full Moon; the lowest or neap tides when the Moon is in its first or third quarter Some seas, such as the Mediterranean, have very small tides till or boulder clay deposit of clay, mud, gravel, and boulders left by a glacier It is unsorted, with all sizes of fragments mixed up together, and does not form clear layers or beds tombolo spit, or ridge of sand or shingle, that connects the mainland to an island; for example Chesil bank, which extends 19 km from Abbotsbury in Dorset, England, to the Isle of Portland

tide: The regular rise and fall of the water level along a seacoast or in an ocean port Gravitational attraction of the moon is the primary cause of tides With the moon orbiting the earth every 24 hours and 50 minutes, low and high tides are about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart

To betide; befall. tide over to help someone through a difficult period, especially by lending them money. Regular, periodic rise and fall of the surface of the sea, occurring in most places twice a day. Tides result from differences in the gravitational forces exerted at different points on the Earth's surface by another body (such as the Moon). Although any celestial body (e.g., Jupiter) produces minute tidal effects, the majority of the tidal forces on the Earth are raised by the Sun (because of its enormous mass) and the Moon (because of its proximity to Earth). In fact, the tidal forces from the Moon are about twice as strong as those from the Sun. The largest tides (spring tides, exhibiting very large change in sea level between high and low tides) occur at the new and full moon, when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are aligned and the Sun's tidal forces are added to those of the Moon. The smallest tides (neap tides) occur when the Sun and Moon are at right angles (from Earth), when the tidal forces from the Sun partially cancel those from the Moon. The geometry of the coastline and of the water's basin also affects the range of the tides
tide: The slow rise and fall of the ocean surface, caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon
tide: The tide of opinion, for example, is what the majority of people think at a particular time. The tide of opinion seems overwhelmingly in his favour
