Question
Explain briefly about maximum and minimum recruitment.
✓
Answer
$1.$ Maximum: Every Poonam and Amas the Sun, Earth and Moon come in a straight line.
So the gravitational pull of the sun as well as the moon produces larger waves of ocean water.
So comes the big tide.
This tide is called the greatest tide.
$2.$ Minimum tide: On the seventh or eighth day of the lunar month, the moon comes at right angles with the sun and the earth and therefore its gravitational effect is less.
This makes the waves bounce less.
The smaller the tide, the lower the tide.
Most beaches have two tides and two tides each day. This is called half-day recruitment.
The tides come once a day to the Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Western Australia.
