Question

A team of scientists is researching the best way to use tides to produce energy.

Which branches of Earth science would these scientists most likely represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

oceanography

environmental science

Explanation:

Oceanographers who have an all-around study of the oceans ( including marine science, geology, plate tectonics, ocean current circulation) are well suited to ascertain how best to harness tide energy to produce power. On the other hand, environmental scientists will ensure that during this process, the environmental impact of the project is well understood to protect the marine environment. An environmental scientist will, for example, ensure the protection  of turtle breeding sites on the shores.
