what is meant by a mixed tidal pattern found along the pacific northwest coast of the united states?
is found in the eastern atlantic ocean also
two high tides and two low tides a day
one high tide and one low tide a day
has a 26 - hour tidal pulse
has both diurnal and semidiurnal characteristics

Explanation:

A mixed tidal pattern is defined by having both diurnal (once - a - day) and semidiurnal (twice - a - day) characteristics.

• The first option about the eastern Atlantic Ocean is incorrect as the question is about the Pacific northwest coast.
• The option of two high and two low tides a day is a semidiurnal pattern.
• One high and one low tide a day is a diurnal pattern.
• A 26 - hour tidal pulse is not the definition of a mixed tidal pattern.

Answer:

Has both diurnal and semidiurnal characteristics
