The Mont Saint-Michel Bay in France experiences significant tidal movements of over 10 meters, uncovering a great expanse of the bay at low tide due to its location. The Hopewell Rocks in Canada's Bay of Fundy also see large tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, with high tide occurring when the moon's pull is strongest on the side of Earth facing it and low tide when the water level falls lowest. Spring tides during a full or new moon produce unusually high high tides and low low tides, while neap tides during a half moon have less extreme high and low tides.
