The interaction of the Sun and Moon's gravity with the oceans produce tides. If the Earth was a just a ball of water (no land masses) then there would be 2 tides per day everywhere.
However there are land masses that complicate the tide movements, so that there are 3 different types of tides, depending on the local geography.
1. Diurnal - one high tide and one low tide per day. Occurs in Alaska, South East Asia, Gulf of Mexico and Western Australia.
2. Semi-Diurnal - Two high and two low waters per tidal day. They are common on the Atlantic coasts of the United States, Europe and Africa.
3. Mixed Tides - as the name suggests, each tide is different from the last. Occurs everywhere else!
