What is Tidal Range? The tidal range is the vertical difference between the highest high tide and the lowest low tide.
What Causes High/Low Tides? The high and low tide are caused by the gravitational forces between the earth and the moon.
What Causes Spring/Neap Tides? When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other.
How Does Tidal Range Effects the types of organisms and the shape and size of the organism? Where organisms living in the place, where tidal range occurs will adapt to that enviornment.
