Question

Which explains how the moon and, to some degree, the sun cause tides on the earth?

Answer 1

A.
The moon and sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth. The sun pulls strongest on the ocean water on the same side, while the moon pulls on the ocean water on the side opposite the moon. The pull creates tidal bulges that are earth’s high tides. Low tides occur at the halfway point between the bulges.

B.
The moon and sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth. The moon pulls strongest on the ocean water on the same side, while the sun pulls on the ocean water on the side opposite the moon. The pull creates tidal bulges that are earth’s high tides. Low tides occur at the halfway point between the bulges.

C.
The moon and sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth. The moon pulls strongest on the ocean water on the same side, lesser on the solid earth, and the least on ocean water on the opposite side of the earth. The pull creates tidal bulges that are earth’s high tides. Low tides occur at the halfway point between the bulges.

D.
The moon and sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth. The moon pulls strongest on the ocean water on the opposite side, lesser on the solid earth, and the least on ocean water on the same side of the earth.

Answer 8

Which explains how wind causes upwelling in the oceans?

A.
Coastal winds blow warm surface water out to sea. Deeper, nutrient-rich, cold water flows upward to replace the surface water.

B.
Wind near the coastline blows warm surface water toward shore, causing it to spread out. Deeper, nutrient-rich, cold water flows upward to replace the surface water blown into shore.

C.
Wind near the coastline blows cold surface water away from land. Deeper, nutrient-rich, warm water flows upward to replace the surface water.

D.
Wind near the coastline blows cold surface water toward shore, causing it to spread out. Deeper, nutrient-rich, warm water flows upward to replace the surface water blown into shore.
