Tis forTide

The tides are the rising and falling of the sea because of the pull of the moon and sun on the oceans. The depth of the water near the coast can change by several metres between high tide and low tide. At low tide a beach may have much, much more sand exposed than at high tide. The beach in the picture is at low tide. You can clearly see the dark mark on the jetty posts where the high tide comes to.

Sis forSunburn

Sunburn is a type of burn that you get when you spend too much time in the sun without wearing sunscreen. Bad sunburn can be extremely painful, and can make your skin blister and peel. You treat sunburn the same way as any other minor burn, with special burn creams and even anaesthetic sprays. Too much exposure to the sun makes your skin age early and become dry and wrinkly, and can give you skin cancer.
