Les amplitudes de la marée ne sont pas identiques dans le temps; elles varient constamment en rapport avec les positions respectives de la Lune et du Soleil. Ainsi, les amplitudes sont maximums immédiatement après la pleine et la nouvelle lune (marées de vives-eaux) et minimums à la suite des premiers et derniers quartiers (marées de mortes-eaux). 8, record 1, French, - mar%C3%A9e%20de%20vives%2Deaux
