🔍 Key Concepts

• Tide height is measured vertically, not horizontally along the shore • The term range of tide focuses on the change in water level between two stages of the tide • Think about how tide tables describe highs and lows using numbers and units (e.g., feet or meters)

💭 Think About

• When you look at a tide table, what two numbers would you compare to understand how much the water level changes? • Is the ‘range’ describing how far water runs up the beach, how deep it gets, or how much the water level rises and falls? • Which choices are talking about vertical change in water level, and which are talking about horizontal distance or time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe a vertical difference in water level rather than distance or time • Eliminate any choice that refers to time duration instead of height • Eliminate any choice that refers to movement along the shore instead of a change in height of the tide
