What is a neap tide?
-
When tides get smaller than normal
-
When tides get larger than normal
-
When you cant see the moon
-
When the sun earth and moon line up
Correct Answer
A. When tides get smaller than normalExplanation
A neap tide refers to a period when the difference between high and low tides is at its smallest. This occurs when the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon are perpendicular to each other, resulting in a weaker tidal force. As a result, the tides are smaller than normal during a neap tide.Rate this question:

-
Tides
-
Seasons
-
Neap tide
-
Spring tide
Correct Answer
A. SeasonsExplanation
The moon does not have an effect on the seasons on Earth. The seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. The tilt causes different parts of Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in the changing seasons. The moon's gravitational pull does affect tides on Earth, but it does not directly influence the seasons.Rate this question:

Neap tide and Spring tide

Tides and Day
-
Eclipses and solar alignment
Correct Answer
A. Seasons and Gravitational pullExplanation
The sun has two main effects on Earth: seasons and gravitational pull. Seasons occur due to the tilt of Earth's axis, which causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. Gravitational pull is the force that keeps Earth in orbit around the sun and also influences the tides on our planet.Rate this question:

Seasons
Correct Answer
A. TidesExplanation
The sun does not directly affect tides on Earth. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun. The moon's gravity is stronger because it is closer to Earth, resulting in the dominant influence on tides. While the sun's gravity does contribute to tides, its effect is much smaller compared to the moon. Therefore, tides are not directly affected by the sun.Rate this question:
