Tidal Wonders: The Dynamic Dance of the Bay of Fundy (1950s)

Ocean Tides Bay of Fundy (1956)
The film discusses the tidal phenomena in the Bay of Fundy, highlighting the extreme tidal ranges, which can reach up to 50 feet. It explains how tides are influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, leading to high and low tides that occur roughly every 12 hours. The film illustrates the impact of these tides on the landscape, including the exposure of seaweed and the behavior of marine life, as well as the interaction between the tides and the St. John River, which experiences reversing falls due to the tidal forces. It emphasizes the cyclical nature of tides and their significance in the ecosystem.
