Question:
Which classification of tides best represents the west coast of India?
Which classification of tides best represents the west coast of India?
Show Hint
West coast India = Arabian Sea = mainly semidiurnal with some mixed tides. East coast (Bay of Bengal) shows similar semidiurnal dominance.

- Diurnal and Mixed
- Semidiurnal and Mixed
- only Diurnal
- only Mixed

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall tidal classifications.
- Semidiurnal tides: Two high tides and two low tides per day.
- Diurnal tides: One high tide and one low tide per day.
- Mixed tides: Characteristics of both, unequal heights.
Step 2: Tides on the west coast of India.
- The Arabian Sea along the west coast of India mostly experiences semidiurnal tides.
- In some locations, tides show variation in successive highs/lows → mixed type. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(B) Semidiurnal and Mixed}} \]
- Semidiurnal tides: Two high tides and two low tides per day.
- Diurnal tides: One high tide and one low tide per day.
