Earth is the primary location where tides occur, as evidenced by the Moon's gravitational influence on the planet [1], [2], and the specific alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon that dictates tidal intensity [3]. Furthermore, these tidal patterns on Earth directly impact biological cycles, such as those affecting oyster food availability [4].
