What are the factors that determine where an amphidromic point can/will occur?

Answer (Click to Show Hidden Text)

1) Coriolis Effect - the relative deflection of the direction of the tides and currents will change the relative position of the amphidromic points
2) Interference with ocean basins, seas, bays, and landmasses - all of these realistic objects can change the amphidromic point as the tides interfere with them

Didn't see the question (Click to Show Hidden Text)

1. Zooxanthellae
2. 343 m/s in air; 1454 m/s in water I think; Faster in Water because it is denser than air

Good, but

What is the elastic rebound theory?

Hello (Click to Show Hidden Text)

The elastic rebound theory was introduced by Henry Reid, and says that the crust of the earth gradually gains stress, and when the amount of stress exceeds the strength of the rock, the energy is released, resulting in an earthquake.
