the world's largest tidal range is found in the open ocean.
where is the world's largest tidal range found?
the open ocean
the typical tidal range in the open ocean is about . closer to the coast, this range is much greater. coastal tidal ranges vary globally and can differ anywhere from near zero to over 16 metres. the exact range depends on the volume of water adjacent to the coast, and the geography of the basin the water sits in. larger bodies of water have higher ranges, and the geography can act as a funnel amplifying or dispersing the tide. the world's largest tidal range of occurs in bay of fundy, canada, and the united kingdom regularly experiences tidal ranges up to between england and wales in the severn estuary.
tidal range
the fifty coastal locations with the largest tidal ranges worldwide are listed by the national oceanic and atmospheric administration of the united states.





























some of the smallest tidal ranges occur in the mediterranean, baltic, and caribbean seas. a point within a tidal system where the tidal range is almost zero is called an amphidromic point.





























section::::classification.





























the tidal range has been classified as:





























bullet::::- micromareal, when the tidal range is lower than 2 metres.





























bullet::::- mesomareal, when the tidal range is between 2 metres and 4 metres.





























bullet::::- macromareal, when the tidal range is higher than 4 metres.
