The greatest tidal range occurs farthest from the amphidromic point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Tidal range is the difference between high tide and low tide. The amphidromic point is a point in the ocean where tides rotate in a counterclockwise direction. At this point, there is no tidal range. As you move farther away from the amphidromic point, the tidal range increases, reaching its greatest point at the coastlines or areas that are the farthest from the amphidromic point.
