Hey, Do you know what tides are?
They are daily or twice daily changes in local sea level... You seriously didn't know that?
I have another question if it doesn't bother you? What are the high tides and low tides?
You are very annoying but whatever, they are the highest or lowest sea level at a given level location.
You don't have to make me feel bad, but the questions are gonna keep coming. What is a lunar tide?
Oh goodness let's just get this over with, anyways, they are tides that are affected by the gravity of the moon.

 

Awhile later, the two caught up and continued their conversation.
Hey again, lucky for you, I come bearing more questions. What is a solar tide?
Me??? Lucky??? Never!!! But, a solar tide is a tide affected by the sun's gravitational pull. From this comes a solar tidal bulge. Also spring and neap tides occur twice a month because of this.
Wow thanks! Another question, how do the spring a neap tides happen.
Oh my gosh!! I already told you! But, a Spring Tide is when the sun works with the moon and forms high tides. And a neap tide is when the sun works against the moon and forms low tides. That's it, ugh
Um ok, hahaha another question, what's the solar tidal bulge??
You make me want to scream!!! IT OCCURS ON THE SIDE THAT FACES THE SUN!!!!!

 

After that last conversation, the girl still didn't have all the information she needed so she went to the boy to ask more questions .
Hi again, thank goodness this is my last question so I will never have to see you again, but what is a Tidal power generator?
I am way more excited to get out of here, but that is literally in the name, all it does is generate power using the ocean's tides.
Um ok thanks. Are they good to have?
Yes, they are renewable, no polluting, & they are more reliable than wind. But, they are very big & can interfere with boat traffic, so the US doesn't have any yet
The boy was very annoyed with the girl and all of her questions, so he just walked away without saying anything.
Wow just leave without saying anything cool!!!!
Ugh I really hate her.

 

The girl learned some of her own information, so she found the boy and told him the newly retained information.
I have learned something that will probably impress you!!
Well, I am not easily impressed.
Ok, did you know the width of the coastline, width of the continental selves, and the position of the moon all affect the oceans tides?
Everyone knows that.
Also, some tides can have a very low sea level during storms, and very high tides due to a spring tide, called an unusual tide.
Well no one likes a know it all. Anyways, I already knew that.
