The YouTube video below was created by Len Wagg for Tourism Nova Scotia

The video is time lapse photography and shows the tide in it's entire ebb and flow.

100 billion tonnes of water daily
Each day 100 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers!

The highest tides on planet Earth occur at Burncoat Head, in Nova Scotia's Minas Basin. The water level at high tide can be as much as 16 metres (52 feet) higher than at low tide.

 

High tides happen every 12 hours and 25

minutes (or nearly an hour later each day)

because of the changing position of the

Moon in its orbit around the Earth.
