If the heavenly bodies would all stop the water will level.. as for why different high tides .. its due to the momentum the water has built due to the movement of those heavenly bodies combined with the configuration of the channel or bay.. ... take a narrowing channel verses a straight channel ..if a constant velocity water is directed into the mouth of both channels the water will rise more in the narrowing channel since the water pressure is funneled to the tip...

I've been to the Bay of Fundy and it certainly is an incredible sight. It all has to do with the geographical layout of the land.

Momentum... thanks, that's an element I hadn't considered.
