The largest tidal ranges in the world reach approximately
Answer: C
Correct answer: 16 metres
The Bay of Fundy reaches a spring range of about 16 metres, and the Severn estuary and Ungava Bay are close behind. Such ranges arise where a converging, shallowing basin has a natural period close to the semidiurnal tidal period, so the tide is amplified by resonance. Most of the open ocean sees a metre or less.
