Detailed explanation-1: -Full Moon will behave similarly to New Moon, i.e., high tides will occur when Full Moon is (approximately) highest and lowest in the sky, i.e., midnight and noon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Detailed Solution The correct answer is 12:13 PM Monday. A lunar day is a total time taken by the moon to make one orbit around the earth. The moon is tidally locked to the earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart so if a high tide occurs at 7 am then it should be evening 7: 30 pm also it takes 6 hours and 12.5 minutes to go from high to low tide that means the low tide occurs at 2: 12.5 pm .
Detailed explanation-4: -Because the Earth rotates through two tidal “bulges” every lunar day, coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. It takes six hours and 12.5 minutes for the water at the shore to go from high to low, or from low to high.
