Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Flood current are the rise in sea level as a tidal crest approaches a coastline. This occurs with high
tides. There is a period of slack water after this and an ebb current as the direction of flow shifts. This
was key to the new field of studymarine biology. Information can be found in the section The
Dynamic Theory of Tides Adds Fluid Motion Dynamics to the Equilibrium



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The shape of an ocean basin can heavily influence tidal heights. Landmasses and bathymetric features
can obstruct, divert, and even slow down tides. Information can be found in the section The Dynamic
Theory of Tides Adds Fluid Motion Dynamics to the Equilibrium
