During which two phases of the moon do neap tides take place?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
Which statement best describes a neap tide?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
Which is a similarity between a neap tide and a spring tide?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
How are the sun, Earth, and moon aligned when spring tides occur?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
Cassie is writing an equation to show the effect of the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon on tidal range. Which equation would Cassie use to show the effect of the sun and the moon on spring tides?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
Which gravitational pull has the greatest effect on tides?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
Why is the timing of tides predictable?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
new moon, full moon
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
The sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line.
sun + moon = spring tides
because the moon’s path is predictable
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
During which two phases of the moon do spring tides take place?
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
