With each<span> passing </span>day<span>, the </span>high tides occur<span> about an </span>hour later<span>. The moon rises about an </span>hour later each day<span>, too (actually, 54 minutes </span>later<span>). Since the moon pulls up the </span>tides<span>, these two delays are connected. As the earth rotates through </span>one day<span>, the moon moves in its orbit.</span>
