2) Which gravitational pull has the greatest effect on tides?
A
the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth
B
the sun’s gravitational pull on Earth
C
Earth’s gravitational pull on the moon
D
the sun’s gravitational pull on the moon
3) Which statement best describes a neap tide?
A
a tide of minimum range that takes place two times a month
B
the periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans
C
the difference in levels of ocean water at high tide and at low tide
D
a rise in ocean water levels that takes place on the side of Earth nearest the moon
4) During which two phases of the moon do spring tides take place?
A
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
B
third quarter moon, full moon
C
new moon, first quarter moon
D
new moon, full moon
5) Which term describes the periodic rise and fall of the water level in the oceans and other large bodies of water?
A
current
B
wave
C
neap
D
tide
6) 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?
A
sun + moon = spring tides
B
sun + Earth = spring tides
C
moon – sun = spring tides
D
Earth – moon = spring tides
7) During which two phases of the moon do neap tides take place?
A
third quarter moon, full moon
B
first quarter moon, third quarter moon
C
new moon, full moon
D
new moon, first quarter moon
8) When Earth, the sun, and the moon align to form a right angle, which type of tide takes place?
A
low tide
B
spring tide
C
neap tide
D
high tide
9) Why is the timing of tides predictable?
A
because winds are predictable
B
because the sun’s movements are predictable
C
because the moon’s path is predictable
D
because ocean water density is predictable
10) Taylor and Jose pulled their boat up onto the beach and went on a hike. When they returned, the beach was covered by water and the boat was floating offshore. What is the most likely explanation?
A
The spring tide came early.
B
The low tide receded and pulled the boat out to sea.
C
The gravitational pull of the sun and moon decreased the tidal range.
D
The water level rose due to the high tide.
11) Which is a similarity between a neap tide and a spring tide?
A
A neap tide occurs at night, and a spring tide occurs during the day.
B
Each tide occurs twice a month, and is determined by the pull of gravity of the moon.
C
Each occurs twice a year and relates to the phases of the moon.
D
Neap tides occur once a year in fall and spring tides once a year in spring.
