This controls the tides.
- A.
The sun
- B.
The moon
- C.
Jupiter
- D.
Barack Obama
- E.
Tectonic plates
Correct Answer
B. The moonExplanation
The moon controls the tides through its gravitational pull on Earth's oceans. As the moon orbits around Earth, its gravitational force causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards the moon, creating a high tide. On the opposite side of the Earth, there is also a high tide due to the inertia of the water. This creates two high tides and two low tides each day. The sun also has an influence on tides, but the moon's gravitational pull is much stronger, making it the primary factor in controlling the tides.Rate this question:
