The main difference between the two files, beach2019.jpg and beach2019.tiff, is their A. type.

JPEG (.jpg) and TIFF (.tiff) are different file formats that can affect how images are stored and their characteristics (such as compression and color information), but since both files contain the same picture, it's primarily their file types that distinguish them. JPEG typically uses lossy compression which reduces file size, while TIFF can support both lossless and lossy compression.
