Assertion (A): The tidal wave rotates about an amphidromic point rather than simply oscillating.
Reason (R): The Coriolis effect deflects the flow and turns the standing wave into a rotating one.
Answer: B
Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism, and rotation is anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere. Amphidromic systems are the reason tidal range varies so much around a sea basin. Range is near zero at the point and largest at the edges.
