Mam just a small confusion..bays with narrow opening and broad rears have highest tides or bays with broad opening and narrow rears? And i have read somewhere that tidal bores help ships to enter kolkata port so the question u have taken up in the lecture the answer to it appears to me as the first statement is wrong! Kindly rply to my query.
Very very conceptual clear lecture mam….Thanks a lot…
