Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second tide in a day is caused by the inertial force, which is the tendency of water to keep moving in the same direction as the Earth rotates, even though the gravitational pull of the Moon has already caused the first tide. This effect results in a second high tide, and it is the reason why some areas experience two high tides per day.
