Question

Which tidal process makes it challenging for organisms to survive in coastal areas?

A.) When the tide comes in, some coastal areas are covered in very deep water.
B.) When the tide comes in, the temperature of the water increases significantly.
C.) When the tide recedes, some coastal areas are exposed to air for many hours.
D.) When the tide recedes, the temperature of the water decreases significantly.

Answer 1

C) When the tide recedes, some coastal areas are exposed to air for many hours (Sorry if I'm wrong)

Answer 2

Correct answer: C). When the tide recedes, some coastal areas are exposed to air for many hours.

Tides are long waves that are generated due to gravitational forces and they travel to a long distance across the oceans. When there are high tides in the coastal area it lasts for many hours and it disturbs the life in that area and causes a huge loss of life and property in that area.

It occurs due to gravitational force which is exerted on the earth by the moon, the gravitational pull of the moon is weak on the far side of the earth, as a result the ocean bulges out and tide occurs.
