Bay of Fundy during low tide [2649]
The Bay of Fundy is known for its extreme tidal range with measurements of 17 m (56 ft) at Burntcoat Head. Oceanographers attribute it to tidal resonance resulting from a coincidence of timing: the time it takes a large wave to go from the mouth of the bay to the inner shore and back is practically the same as the time from one high tide to the next. During the 12.4-hr tidal period, 115 billion tons of water flow in and out of the bay. [Source: Wikipedia]
