Along the Ocean Floor

Hopewell rocks New Brunswick is a famous location for its tidal changes. The Tides are extreme because the Moon’s gravity pulls on the massive volume of water in the Bay of Fundy, and the shape of the bay amplifies that pull. As the Moon draws water toward it, the narrow, funnel‑shaped bay forces that water higher and higher, creating some of the largest tidal ranges on Earth.
