Inverse square law. The force of gravitational pull is inverse to the square of the distance. Because planetary orbits are elliptical ( the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun) the amount of gravitational force exerted on the planet ( and it’s oceans) by the moon and the sun varies ( in a complex and regular pattern) through the day and according to the position of the sun and the moon relative to the earth.
  
Because of inverse square law the amount of gravitational pull by the moon and sun felt on earth is puny compared to how much we feel from the planet itself. However when you take into account it’s force acting on a fluid ( the oceans), especially a vast quantity of fluid with a complex boundary, and that force acting unequally but periodically over time, that force than creates conditions for wave formation. And that is what tides are. It is a global oceanic wave induced by the gravitational influence of the sun and moon. It is NOT the water pulling up into the sky because of the moon. Their gravity felt from earth is too small for that. However it is enough to disturb a relatively frictionless fluid and form a wave. This is also why the tide times are highly correlated to moon position.
  
This is why tide is high on opposite sides of the world at the same time, tides are a sine curve ( a wave) and half of the earth is 180 degrees out of phase from the other ( corresponds perfectly with the gravitational influence of moon). This also explains why the tides rise and fall in a sinusoidal and not linear rate ( sometimes complicated by shoreline geography)
  
As to why some areas that are relatively close can have large variance of tidal range is simple. Shoreline geography. All of the areas that have large tides have something in common- they are at the head of or alongside gulfs, bays or fjords. Areas of small tides are alongside wide open coasts. Look at the map of the areas you cited as examples. Port Natal is on a wide open coast. Further north you will find bierra situated at the head of a large bay. Why does this matter? Because as the tide (wave) approaches shore and there is a constriction of some sort the wave form gets compressed and the amplitude increases. Also the Venturi effect amplifies this as well. Look up the Bay of Fundy to see an extreme example ( largest tide in world) and the tides on the Atlantic coast of Florida for the other extreme ( very small tides).
   
Celestial objects and gravity also explain the spring and neap tide phenomenon ie why tides are highest during the new moon and full moon and smallest during half moon phases. Because gravity is a vector quantity it’s overall force of influence takes direction into account. So when the sun and moon are lined up ( full or new moons) the exert a higher overall force exacerbating the wave. And during half moons they are at a 90 degree relative to earth so their pull is spread out and tides are smaller. You can see it with your own eyes over the course of a month and it is a globally synchronized phenomenon.
  
I am a sea captain, sailor, and sea kayaker who has been on many oceans and coasts. I have seen the standard model play out before my very eyes. Why else would moon phase have anything to go with tidal range globally? Why else does shoreline shape dictate tidal range locally? Tide charts and tables are accurate to an incredible degree of precision, and are all based entirely on Newtonian physics and the relative position of sun and moon. I have staked my life on the accuracy of these models and like clockwork they are right. How could this otherwise be?
  
Newton may not have fully understood, but his math ( calculus) and models ( basic gravitational theory) have given us a very strong model for not only how tides work, but how to predict them to a very high degree of accuracy. The earth is a sphere. It orbits the Sun. The moon orbits the earth. If you have any questions please ask them.

What is parallel search url? Was on it a while back but lost it somehow.
 
A good place to buy/ start small towns is Southeast Alaska. Cheap land wild food no undesirables, lots of resources with minimal regulation or oversight. Good gardening. Places like Hyder or excursion inlet or the Tsirku valley. Commercial fishing is a great sustainable industry in the area that has relatively low start up costs compared to profit. For max gains process and market direct to end user. Small scale gold mining or logging has potential in the area. Would be great ways to sustain a small independent community financially and or begin to approach autarkic condtions.

Good! Had a my first child, of pure northwest European decent, planted the beginnings of an orchard, restored a sailboat and further radicalized myself through reading based literature, experiences with nature, and isolating myself from kike culture physically socially and spiritually.

Get yourself a woodstove, a chainsaw and an ole fashion splitting maul. Incredible total body workout felling and bucking trees, manually hauling logs out of the woods, and splitting the rounders by hand . You also get the mental health boost of doing work for yourself, reducing your dependence on the system plus spending time out in the forest. Finally there is something the ladies love about a man reeking of two stroke and saw dust fresh out of the woods with a pickup full of logs.

-"Western Steppe Herders are believed to have been light-skinned.
 
The rs12821256 allele of the KITLG gene that controls melanocyte development and melanin synthesis,[32] which is associated with blond hair and first found in an individual from central Asia dated to around 15,000 BC, is found in three Eastern Hunter-Gatherers from Samara, Motala and Ukraine, and several later individuals with WSH ancestry.[13] Geneticist David Reich concludes that the massive migration of Western Steppe Herders probably brought this mutation to Europe, explaining why there are hundreds of millions of copies of this SNP in modern Europeans.[33] In 2020, a study suggested that ancestry from Western Steppe Pastoralists was responsible for lightening the skin and hair color of modern Europeans, having a dominant effect on the phenotype of Northern Europeans, in particular.[34]
 
A study in 2015 found that Yamnaya had the highest ever calculated genetic selection for height of any of the ancient populations tested.[16][30]
 
About a quarter of ancient DNA samples from Yamnaya sites have an allele that is associated with lactase persistence, conferring lactose tolerance into adulthood.[35] Steppe-derived populations such as the Yamnaya are thought to have brought this trait to Europe from the Eurasian steppe, and it is hypothesized that it may have given them a biological advantage over the European populations who lacked it.[36][37][38]
 
Eurasian steppe populations display higher frequencies of the lactose tolerance allele than European farmers and hunter gatherers who lacked steppe admixture"

The plow marked the moment when History first entered into geological time and humankind, once a single creation out of many, began to transform the forces of general life. This is civilization – the old curse of Cain, first to till and kill, primal architect of cities, the father of that pathology known as ‘Progress’. - Martin Billheimer
