    Question



    Tidal range:

    A.

    is the difference in water levels between a high tide and mean sea level.

    B.

    is the difference in water levels between a low tide and mean sea level.

    C.

    is the time span between two consecutive high and low tides.

    D.

    is the difference in water levels between two consecutive high and low tides.

    Correct option is D

    Explanation:
    Tidal range refers to the vertical difference in sea level between a high tide and the succeeding low tide (or vice versa). It is a measure of how much the water level rises and falls due to tidal effects, caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
    Information Booster:
    The tidal range varies depending on the location and the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun.
    · Spring tides (new and full moon) result in higher tidal ranges.
    · Neap tides (first and third quarters of the moon) produce lower tidal ranges. Tidal range is important for navigation, marine construction, and coastal ecosystems.
