Question
the tidal movement at the bay of fundy in nova scotia is the highest tidal movement. what most likely causes tidal movement like this? (1 point) upwellings on the continental shelf deep underwater currents melting glaciers the moons gravitational pull
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon (and to a lesser extent the Sun) on Earth's oceans. Upwellings on the continental shelf, deep underwater currents, and melting glaciers do not directly cause tidal movements. Tidal forces result from the differential gravitational attraction across the Earth - Moon (and Earth - Sun) system. The Bay of Fundy's high tides are an extreme example of this lunar - induced phenomenon.
