A coastline on Earth experienced a high tide at 6 a.m. At what approximate time will the next high tide occur, and why?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  about 6:25 p.m.

Explanation:

There are two complete cycles of the tides in each lunar day of about 24 hours and 50 minutes. Thus peak tides are about half a lunar day apart, or 12 hours and 25 minutes.

12 hours and 25 minutes after 6 a.m. is 6:25 p.m.
