When the tide comes in, it flows (or floods). When the tide goes out it ebbs. Allegorically people use ebb and flow to talk about something oscillating in size or importance. For example Britain's global influence has ebbed away since the days of the Raj. Or, we watch the ebb and flow of Mrs Johnson's waistline! Hope that answers your question. Tom
