luke is bodyboarding and sees it is high tide. which of the following reasons causes the high tidal and low tidal movement each day?
(1 point)
the persistent winds that occur along coastlines
the deep ocean currents circulating the globe
the outflow of rivers from the watershed
the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Persistent winds along coastlines cause wind - driven currents, deep ocean currents are mainly due to density differences (thermohaline circulation), and the outflow of rivers affects local water levels but not the regular tidal movements.
