Frida Riggs · Answer 1

The correct answer is: B. the difference between levels of high tide and low tide.

The tidal range is manifested through the difference between the high tide and the low tide. The high tide manages to take the water deeper inland and increases the level of the sea while present. The low tide, on the other hand, is the total opposite, it pulls the water towards the sea, and decreases the sea level while present. The difference between the maximum of the high tide and the minimum of the low tide is the tidal range.

The high and low tide occur because of the influence of the Moon, or rather the gravitational pull of the Moon.
