The tidal range at a location is

  • A.the time interval between successive high waters at the port
  • B.the vertical difference between successive high and low waters
  • C.the horizontal distance the water moves between high and low
  • D.the speed at which the tidal current flows at that location

Answer: B

It varies through the spring neap cycle and from place to place. Ranges vary from a few centimetres in parts of the Mediterranean to well over ten metres in the Bay of Fundy. Basin resonance rather than latitude explains the extremes.
