Put another way, Monday’s high tide was about 2.75 feet above sea level. Miami is expected to see about that much sea level rise by 2060, according to NOAA’s projections.
Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter.
