How is a mixed tidal pattern different from a semidiurnal tidal pattern?
a) A mixed tidal pattern has two high tides and two low tides of unequal heights each day, while a semidiurnal tidal pattern has two high tides and two low tides of equal heights each day.
b) A mixed tidal pattern occurs when tidal range is minimal, while a semidiurnal tidal pattern occurs when tidal range is maximal.
c) A mixed tidal pattern occurs in enclosed basins, while a semidiurnal tidal pattern occurs in open oceans.
d) A mixed tidal pattern is influenced by lunar cycles, while a semidiurnal tidal pattern is influenced by solar cycles.
