**✅*Gs-1 : Geography- Tides in lakes

⚠️Direct Factual Pointers: What to focus on?

⚜️Gravity & Tides: Basic science that tides are primarily caused by gravitational forces of the sun and moon.
?️How can this be used in prelims?- A question could mention a landlocked sea, asking if it would have larger tides than a lake due to being part of the ocean system- just note that even if landlocked, a sea is part of the larger interconnected ocean system. This allows for a greater volume of water to be affected by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun*.Examples-Mediterranean Sea: Has noticeable tides, though smaller than the connected Atlantic Ocean, due to its size and being partially enclosed.

*⚜️Caspian Sea*- has very minimal tides due to being almost entirely landlocked and relatively small in volume compared to true oceans.
