I'm curious about macro tides. I've heard the term before but I'm not entirely sure what it means. Could someone explain to me what a macro tide is, and maybe also touch on its causes and effects?

In this range, the difference in water levels during high and low tides is more pronounced than in micro-tidal areas but still not as extreme as in macro-tidal regions.
