Information about currents on the Pacific Coast of the U. S. is found in the _______________.

A Tidal Current Tables
B Nautical Almanac
C Tide Tables
D Ocean Current Tables
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Tidal Current Tables. The Tidal Current Tables published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) contain detailed information about currents along the Pacific Coast of the United States, including the speed, direction, and timing of tidal currents. This information is essential for safe navigation and voyage planning in coastal waters. The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically contain the necessary data on currents. The Nautical Almanac and Tide Tables provide information on astronomical data and tidal heights, respectively, but do not include the comprehensive current data found in the Tidal Current Tables.
