| tidal |
Referring to the very small movement of the surface of the Moon or the Earth due to the gravitational attraction of other planetary bodies. Similar to the oceanic tides, the solid parts of the Earth's crust rise and fall twice daily about three feet. Lunar tides are somewhat larger. The tides of solid bodies are not felt by people but are easily observed with instruments.
