A land area next to the ocean will likely have milder temperatures due to the moderating effect of the ocean. It may also experience higher humidity levels and potentially more precipitation. Additionally, coastal areas can be more prone to coastal erosion and flooding.
There are approximately 4 tides per day...two high, and two low. Actually, there are 4 tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes, so high tides occur every 12 hours and 25 minutes. Low tides occur in the alternate 12 hours and 25 minutes. If you have a high tide at noon, you could expect the next low tide 6 hours and 12.5 minutes later.
The next high tide would occur approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes later at around 5:25 am the following day. This is because tides typically follow a semi-diurnal pattern, with two high tides and two low tides each day, occurring approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes apart.
If high tide is at noon, you can expect the next low tide roughly 6 hours later, around 6 PM. Tides typically follow a semi-diurnal pattern with two high tides and two low tides each day, occurring approximately 6 hours apart.
A coastal plain is a lowland area adjacent to the sea, which may have formed from marine sediments which have subsequently been revealed by a fall in sea level, as in the southeastern coast of the USA. The coastal plain is an extensive, low-relief area that is bounded by the sea on one side and by some type of relatively high-relief province on thelandward side. The geologic province of the coastal plain actually extends beyond the shoreline across the continental shelf. It is only during times of glacial melting and high sea level that much of the coastal plain is drowned. The coastal plain is a geologic province that is linked to the stable part of a continent on the trailing edge of a plate. The extent and nature of the coastal plains of the world range widely. Some are very large and old, whereas others are small and geologically young. For example, the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States are among the largest in the world. In some areas the coastal plain is hundreds of kilometre wide and extends back about 100 million years. By contrast, local coastal plains in places like the east coast of Australia and New Zealand are only 1 or 2 million years old and extend only tens of kilometers landward from the shoreline. The typical character of a coastal plain is one of stratum that dip gently and uniformly toward the sea. There may be low ridges that are essentially parallel to the coast and that have developed from erosion of alternating resistant and nonresistant strata. These strata are commonly a combination of mudstone-1, sandstone, and limestone, although the latter is typically a subordinate amount of the total. These strata resulted from deposition in fluvial, deltaic, and shelf environments as sea level advanced and retreated over this area. Coastal plain strata have been a source of considerable oil and gas as well as various economic minerals. Although the coastal plain province is typically stable tectonically, there may be numerous normal faults and salt dome intrusions.
5 PM. High & low tides are approximately 6 hours apart.

Water bodies mediate temperature changes around them due to water's high heat capacity
Because the coastal is next to the harbour.
Yes, floodplains are formed by the deposition of sediment carried by a river during periods of high water flow. The sediments accumulate over time, creating a flat and fertile area next to the river where flooding can occur.
