2. in your own words, explain why humans are interested in monitoring tides. what impact do tides have on human life? what impact might tides have on other organisms?

"Tides mean that organisms that live in the tidal zone must be adapted both to an above water and underwater environment, as well as be able to withstand waves that hit them every time the tide goes in or out. Some of these adaptations are structural, like barnacles being able to glue themselves to rocks. Others are behavioural, like animals that burrow in mud to protect themselves from the waves or mussels that clamp themselves closed whenever they are in the air to keep from losing water."

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
