Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is high tide in Georgia, it is low tide on the opposite side of the Earth, which is in the Pacific Ocean near the coast of Japan. This is because the Earth's ocean tides are influenced by the gravitational pull of both the Moon and the Sun, and as the Earth rotates, areas on opposite sides of the planet experience high and low tides at the same time due to the tidal forces.
