/snip/ the "size" of the oscillating body doesn't matter nearly as much
as its natural frequency. ...the tides are fairly large in the tiny
North Sea. In the tiny Bay of Funday they are huge! In the Black Sea the
tides are large and move in a CIRCULAR pattern. In the South Atlantic the
tides are small and move NORTH. There are places in the Indian Ocean where
the tides move EAST!!! In the Pacific -- well take your pick; there they
are small and large and move every which a way -- there are SIX amphidromic
nodes where there are NO tides.
