Answer 1

The correct answer is Twice

Key Points

Twice is the number of times tidal waves build up and recede (rise and fall) in a day.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans.
Typically, coastal areas experience two high tides and two low tides within a 24-hour period.
This regular pattern of tides is due to the Earth's rotation and the positions of the moon and the sun.

Additional Information

The gravitational forces of the moon and the sun create what are known as tidal bulges in the Earth's oceans.
As the Earth rotates, different areas of the planet pass through these bulges, resulting in the cyclical pattern of high and low tides.
The interval between one high tide and the next is approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes, leading to the occurrence of two high tides and two low tides each day.
Tidal patterns can be influenced by various factors, including the shape of the coastline, the ocean floor's topography, and local weather conditions.
