2) Which of the following best explains what will happen to the Earth's tides if the Moon continues to move away from Earth?
A
The Earth's ocean tides will eventually completely go away
B
The Earth's ocean tidal range will become more extreme
C
The Earth's ocean tidal range will remain the same
D

3) Which of the following best explains why the Earth is experiencing very little tidal change during neap tides?
A
The Sun and Moon are pulling on Earth equally.
B
The Sun also pulls on the Moon and combines its force with the Earth.
C
The Sun also pulls on Earth and combines its force with the Moon.
D
The Sun is at right angles, pulling against the Moon’s pull on Earth.
4) Which of the following best explains why the Earth is experiencing higher high tides and lower low tides during spring tides?
A
The Sun and Moon are pulling on Earth equally
B
The Sun also pulls on the Moon and combines its force with the Earth.
C
The Sun and Moon are pulling on Earth in different directions.
D
The Sun also pulls on Earth and combines its force with the Moon.
5) Which of the following best explains why planets in the Solar system are moving in elliptical orbits?
A
The Sun's inertia, along with the planets gravitational attraction.
B
The Sun's gravitational attraction
C
The Planets inertia
D
The Sun’s gravitational attraction, along with the planet’s inertia.
6) Which of the following best explains the difference between the inner and outer planets speed in the Solar system?
A
The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit slower because the gravitational attraction is greater.
B
The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit faster because the gravitational attraction is weaker.
C
The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit slower because the gravitational attraction is weaker.
D
The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit faster because the gravitational attraction is greater.
7) Which of the following best explains why the tidal bulges on Earth are larger closest to the Moon compared to the tidal bulges closest to the Sun?

The Sun has a greater mass than the Moon
B
The Moon has a greater mass than the Sun
C
The Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun
D
The Sun is closer to Earth than the Moon

C
Locations #3 (last quarter) and #7 (first quarter)
D
Locations #1 (new moon) and #5 (full moon)
