🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between vertical height of tide and horizontal tidal current • Meaning of slack water versus times of high and low water • How tide tables describe high water / low water stand

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: is the question talking about how high the water level is or how fast the water is moving? • Which option refers specifically to a temporary pause in the change of water level, not just a weakening of current? • Look at the terms that navigators use in tide tables when the water level is neither rising nor falling.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether slack water is defined by current speed or by water level height • Check which term is used in tide tables to describe a short interval when the tide level remains nearly constant • Eliminate any options that mainly describe dangerous currents or surface disturbances rather than a pause in vertical rise/fall
