Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
High tides are associated with the bulges or crests of the tides. Low tides are associated with the
troughs, the area between the bulges. Information can be found in the section Tides Are Forced Waves
Formed by Gravity and Inertia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The tidal currents become more complex in the open ocean. The amphidromic point, shape of the
ocean basin, and the magnitude of gravitational attractions must be considered. Information can be
found in the section The Dynamic Theory of Tides Adds Fluid Motion Dynamics to the Equilibrium.
