    Earth's rotation produces two high tides. This occurs because the moon revolves around the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis ... Because the Earth rotates through two tidal "bulges" every lunar day, coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart.
