Question

Tidal fluctuations can affect the abundance of aquatic organisms in an ocean environment. which tide would have the *least* impact on an abundance of aquatic organisms?

a. diurnal
b. mixed
c. neap
d. semi-diurnal

Answer 1

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the third choice "neap"

Neap tides occur twice a month when the sun and moon are at right angles to the Earth. When this is the case, their total gravitational pull on the Earth's water is weakened because it comes from two different directions.
