Question

The difference between high tide and low tide is __________.
(A) Tidal width
(B) Tidal height
(C) Tidal range
(D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: On the coast and along the tidal river, the most obvious phenomenon is low tide and high tide. Depending on the position and relative position of the earth relative to the moon and sun (celestial bodies that generate tides by exerting gravity on our planet), the difference between high tide and low tide ("tide range") may be small or large.

Complete step by step solution
High tide: The tidal bulge caused by the moon causes the area facing the moon and the area opposite to the moon to be at high tide. Although the distance from the tide to the beach depends on the outline of the coastline and the time of year, the high tide on the side facing the moon is usually stronger than the high tide on the side facing away from the moon. The two high tides experienced by each region on the planet are about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart.

Low tide: When an area is neither facing the moon nor far away from the moon, it is at low tide. During this period, tidal bulges occurred in different areas, which caused the sea level in these areas to recede. The severity of low tide also depends on the contours of the coastline and the season. There will be a low tide every 12 hours and 25 minutes, resulting in alternating high tide and low tide.

Tidal range: The tidal range is the vertical distance between the rise and fall of the tide, the difference in water height between low tide and high tide, or very simply, the "size" of the tide. The range of tides varies by location.

Thus, the option (C) is correct.

Note: High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. ...These rumbling waters are high tide. As the earth rotates, your earth area will pass these two bumps every day. When you are in one of these bumps, you experience an orgasm. When you are not in one of the bumps, you will experience low tide
