It is wonderful to go for long walks on the beach or go
cycling at low tide.
Not exact matches
Also true is there exist heat - tolerant corals, corals that are regularly exposed to (and routinely survive) the extreme stress of finding themselves out in the tropical air
at low tide, and many ocean organisms that live through large swings in pH through tidal
cycles.
Temperatures varied more than 10 - degrees - Celsius over a single tidal
cycle and became most extreme when the
low tide period aligned with maximum heating by the sun
at noon, which warmed the shallow water on the reefs.
I don't believe she indicated exactly when in the lunar
cycle the spikes occurred, but since she postulated that
lower ocean levels were putting less pressure on the ocean floor and allowing magma movement and leakage, these must have been
at low tide.
