- The resource page discusses an increasing threat of nuisance flooding in North Carolina. To understand what nuisance flooding is, you have to have a basic understanding of tides. How are tides generated and propagated around ocean basins? Explain how the factors that control tides change over the course of one month and tie that back to the problems with nuisance flooding.
