Basin configuration can cause variations in tidal ranges. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
ANS: T
Ocean depth and basin configuration can have a large impact on the tidal range of an area. The tidal
range is the difference between high-water and low-water. The larger the basin, the bigger the tidal
range will be. Tidal ranges are not consistent throughout an entire ocean basin. Information can be
found in the section The Dynamic Theory of Tides Adds Fluid Motion Dynamics to the Equilibrium
