Hello, I live in Massachusetts, when I go to the beach and it's low tide, where does the water go ? I know the the volume of water remains relatively constant, so my question would be: Where would it be high tide ? Would it be high tide 1/4 of the way around the world, my reasoning: gravitational pull of the moon. If so where would this be? Thank You.
