A tidal bore - is formed when the sea is 'forced' into a narrow place such as the mouth of a river etc. The river Severn in the UK is well-known for its tidal bore. The effect lasts long enough to allow people to water-ski without being towed behind a boat !
A tidal bore is most likely to occur on a coastal area with a funnel-shaped bay or estuary, such as in rivers or estuaries that have a narrow inlet opening onto a broad bay. The narrowing of the waterway causes the incoming tide to create a wave that can travel upstream, forming a tidal bore.
A storm surge is a sudden rise in sea level caused by a storm, leading to coastal flooding. Tidal bores are large waves caused by the incoming tide meeting a river's current, creating a wave that flows upstream against the current. Storm surges are caused by weather events, while tidal bores are caused by tidal movements interacting with river currents.
Tidal energy is found in coastal areas where there are strong tidal currents. These areas, such as bays, estuaries, and straits, experience regular and predictable tidal movements that can be harnessed for generating electricity using tidal turbines.
A scientist who studies tidal pools is called a marine biologist or a marine ecologist. They focus on the ecosystem dynamics and organisms living in tidal pools and study how they are impacted by tidal changes.
When two bodies of tidal water meet, it is called a tidal convergence or tidal mixing zone. This occurs when tidal currents from different directions come together, causing mixing and turbulence.

The next tidal bore on the River Dee in Flintshire is dependant on the tide cycle and specific conditions. It is advised to consult a tidal bore prediction chart or local authorities for the most accurate information.
tidal wave
The type of coast that a tidal bore would most likely occur is a coast with narrow bays and inlets. Tidal bores also occur on a coast that has river channels.
Yes, the tidal bore is strongest when the moon and sun are aligned on the same side of the Earth. This alignment, known as a spring tide, results in higher tidal ranges and stronger tidal currents.

A Tidal Bore is a wave that forms when a rising tide enters a shallow, narrow river from a wide area of the sea.
A tidal bore results when the conformation of a bay funnels the incoming tide into a fairly narrow river channel. The effect is a result of the flood tide's duration's being shortened by the land shape so that it acts very suddenly.
150 miles wide. but cheak on other websites to.
The river Severn is famous for being the longest River in Britain It also has a tidal bore, that rises suddenly as a wall of water, that races up river. Many people visit the Severn at the time of the tidal bore to race upstream for miles on surf boards. The Severn tidal bore is the second largest in the World, the largest being (I believe in Canada?)
I believe the tidal fall is 12 feet
The world's shortest tide, known as a "tidal bore," occurs in the Petitcodiac River in New Brunswick, Canada. The tidal bore here can travel 29 km (18 miles) in about 80 minutes.
